While moving furniture into my newly constructed home, I took a hard fall from heat exhaustion and broke my hip and collarbone. laid up in rehab and need to see some beauties in the form of rare gold. Still looking forward to spending my first night in the new house. Thanks in advance for the well wishes and the good pics.

If by “rare” you mean not the usual generic gold coin, then these might scratch the itch…
Here are some that go well with @CharlotteDude coins. Wish I had an 1845 $5

Blitzdude, cohodk, and I are all hoping that you have a very speedy recovery.

The only thing rare is that I have gold. I feel your pain having fallen off a ladder a couple years ago, breaking 3 ribs. That ____ hurt. Ought not be climbing ladders and getting on roofs at 68, but try finding someone who wants to work. They're rarer than gold nowadays.
Edit to remove "shouldn't" and replace with "ought not". (I don't like shoulding on myself )
Thanks I’m cheered up already how about some gold colored pain pills?

Sorry to hear. That sounds like a serious fall. Moving is a pain I really want to avoid. Get well soon! The PM forum still needs your constant attention keeping the discussions out of the gutter.

That’s a great looking Eagle! I thought it was a gem and I went back and saw the couple of ticks. Makes a super 64 though.
Why not another?
Wow, collarbone and hip!! The crowd did put up some nice medicine for you. All quite stunning examples. Nothing to compare with the above coins... get well and next time "pay the guy". (Two and a Half Men reference)

Get well soon.
I know the excitement as we just bought our first house last week.
The absolute rarest of all the gold eagles, the "Winged Liberty" variety ....
Does this qualify?
Get well soon!

Get well quickly ... amazing how many injuries happen just around the house - especially a new home. Best of luck.

I don’t have any high end gold….yet. But I do
have some GMM Half Eagles. I sent them in to our hosts here
as they say they will grade anything that is in the “world of unusual coins”book.
They wrote back that it’s too close the real real ones in size, weight and design.
They also said they reserve the right to decide against slabbing them too.
I guess the COPY counter stamped on reverse was not good enough……..lol

Mintage of 7 :
We'll leave the pint on.
A coin from Great Britain.
The only one that is currently thought to exist. In a series of just five years (1887, 1890, 1891, 1892 and 1893) the Jubilee Head half sovereign has around 18 different known varieties (see the publication on the Jubilee Head half sovereign by David Iverson and Steve Hill).
This one - the 1891 Low Shield with JEB - is currently the only one to have been found so far. Enjoy!
