I&#039;ve a PCGS? 61 Venezuelan 1875 small gold coin that looks absolutely bagmarked to pieces (but is still unc).&nbsp; Also I collect Latin American &amp; know nothing about Canadian.&nbsp; That not withstanding the piece could be much nicer than a 61, particularly if you are a specialist in those.&nbsp; Manipulative dealers here are making a big stink about rare date/mint $20 gold Liberties &amp; Saints; actually one was the most expensive coin ever sold for a while.&nbsp; However it&#039;s still possible to get some minor, rare date gold inexpensively.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW I&#039;ve been wondering about getting a nice Canadian coin to show to friends.&nbsp; Any recommendations on something nice but not abysmally common?&nbsp; What should I avoid in the $5 or $10 pieces?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll put up another uncommon minor gold in a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
