Opinions on the undervalued US gold dates?

Longacre

Does anyone have any opinions on which US gold coins are currently undervalued?

I've always thought the 1905-P $20.00 Liberty was an undervalued date. Very low mintage and a scarce date in all grades, especially in MS, and I don't think the price reflects its true scarcity.

1822 Five

Even though they've been going up recently, the better dates in the $3 series still seem pretty cheap given their scarcity.

I think all New Orleans gold dates are way undervalued according to coin values!!

1855-S. Find me a half eagle for sale... any grade.

Some of the very low-mintage (2,000 - 6,000) Philadelphia quarter eagles of the 1880's and 1890's can be had (according to price sheets, anyway) in high AU or low MS for not that much more than their super-common counterparts of the type. Does this make them undervalued? I don't know; I don't know that demand for them will increase at any time. I do know they're fairly hard to locate. I was looking for a while for an 1894 or 96 in AU58 I think it was, and didn't turn up much. Gave up the search for a while and turned to other things.

I would check this site out.American Gold Exchange Dana Samuelson and Matt Warden are some of the nicest dealers I've met. And they do return calls and emails!! They have some recomendations for exactly what your asking called power pairs on the Web page. Hope this helps.

I was going to post when I returned home from work, but had to interject here after UW's post. I have also dealt with AGE, they are very nice, but they cater more to the gold speculator/investor than the collector. They give good service and reasonable advice. Power Pairs are not for rare date gold collectors. If you are looking to collect rare date gold, you know who I recommend.

I think that the Phildelphia and San Francisco No Motto half eagles and eagles are undervalued, especially the better dates. I would exclude one-year types and other sexier issues (like the 66-S No Mottos). I think that the Philadelphia Type I and II $20's are relatively undervalued, as well.

I do not like the quarter eagles from the 1880's and 1890's (as someone else suggested) in part because of my own experience. I have owned an 1890 AU quarter eagle for 27 years (!), and if I am lucky, I could find someone to purchase it for what I paid for it ($175). There seems to be enough supply and not much demand such that I do not see these moving.

I collect the Dahlonega $5's, which as a group are fully valued to me (a few of the individual dates seem like better values-46-D, 41-D and some worse--60-D, 42-D LD). The New Orleans No Motto $10's I collect seem reasonably valued but not screaming buys, either.

In better date gold, there seem to be very few pockets of real opportunity if you are looking for near or intermediate-term price appreciation. That's why I tend to buy coins I like with discretionary money with the hope that someday I will get my money out of them (or my estate will), and I will have earned the non-tangible "interest" of the enjoyment of collecting them.

I think that, except for the "sexy" coins - old-tenor gold, one-year types, C-, D- and CC-mint coins, double eagles, almost all of the "better" or "rare" gold coins are undervalued - and they'll probably stay that way.

I just don't think there's enough demand - everyone seems to want a complete set of Morgan dollars, but they'll only buy enough gold to complete a type set.

It's OK, it just means there are more coins for me!

type three one dollar gold ms65 1879 totally undervalued sleeper coin 1880 to 1889 dates to a lesser extent

sometimes these coins have an improper alloy mixture so they have a pretty lilac orange red toning to them and since many have not seen as such and it is misunderstood the services usually undergraded these coins and they are not only rare but extremely beautiful as such

you might see maybe one or so a year if you go to all the shows and auctions and look at many coins

a coin like this with this improper alloy mixture in ms65 would be a killer coin to have and an added plus if the 1879 date
