Thanks for comments and/or suggestion.

    I have some 93 gold eagles somewhere, buried out on the back 40. not sure of grades or what exactly I paid but the market is weak and melt is around $600. Personally I'd be willing to pay bullion value but not much more. Only thing that matters is what are you willing to pay?

    $695 isn't crazy but I believe you could do better.

    Kinda baggy for a 62. I would keep looking.

    FYI - Gold eagles were a favorite reserve coin for South and Central American governments. These were shipped around the continent for decades and acquired the kind of banged-up look shown in the OP's photo.

    Here's the same picture with the highlights brought down a little. The coin appears to be uncirculated - no rubbing or clear luster disturbances - but numerous contact marks from handling of bagged coins pepper the entire surfaces. Detail seems to be excellent, but that cannot compensate for damage.

    As I have often mentioned, gold is my favorite coin material... and my weakness. However, I would not buy that one unless it was below melt....There are so many out there that are more attractive. Cheers, RickO

    That was a very important year in US history; it is your link to the greatness of America past, and will bring you good luck!

    MS61 at best will all those heavy bag marks.

    This is a common date. You can easily find a better one. Wait for more of the European gold hoards to surface and the prices to fall even closer to bullion value.

    OK, but what is it on MS-60?

    Thanks to all. I'm in no rush to buy but I am planning to add a Liberty & Indian head gold in the near future. Most of my gold coins are modern USMint produced except for a quarter indian gold coin. Will keep on looking and follow the forum members advice.

    Good luck and I hope you find a nice one at a great price.
