    Not much experience in gold. Best to search Heritage and teletrade for going prices to get a currant idea. Happy hunting at the show and good luck ! image

  • Greysheet says $5 Indian in 62 is $645/$675 and $2 1/2 Lib is $385/$410. So I would expect to pay more than aks for nice examples. I see that these coins are much more expensive in 63. MS 62 coins usually have so many bag marks that luster is impaired or the bag marks are very big or something. The $5 Indian in AU 58 sheets at $252/270 while the $2 1/2 Lib in 58 at $190/205.

    Now, if it were me, and I wasn't trying for a registry set, I'd search the floor long and hard for an AU coin that really had few marks and looked great. That is a coin I'd pay above sheet for. If I was trying for the registry set I'd be looking to buy one coin at the MS 63 or MS 64 level...

    Who's slab ? Who's grade ?

    If they are available, which dates ?

    MS-62 is pretty lofty when it comes to $5 Gold Indians and $2.50 Gold Liberty coins, but don't trust any grade except PCGS when dealing with the Indians, in my humble opinion.... Not to say that the other TPGs cannot grade accurately..... but they shouldn't receive the same consideration as PCGS's price guide, though you will have to trust your eye.
    Think HIGHER on the Indians and you are close on the later date Liberty coins.
    Some dates are upwards of $75,000.00 in that grade, by the way.

    The main thing I would say is : NEGOTIATE, and be a good old fashioned "horse trader"
    I hope you can see these pictures :

    Here is some spam:

    I've got a really nice $2.50 liberty in NGC MS-62. It's not cheap, but it's as nice as some MS-63 graded examples. PM me if you are interested. I'm at a show this weekend, but I'll be montering this site from a remote location.

    The $5 Indian is the most difficult coin to find in REAL Mint State in the eight piece gold type set. Most of the lower end MS coins that you will find are really sliders (AU coins).

  • If I were going to buy a MS 62 I would certainly look at Bill's offerings...

    Typically I purchase PCGS certified coins..... I think they are the best graders in general, plus I prefer there clear holders compared to the white.....

    At the last show I was at they had no 58 thru 62's of either of these coins in common date coins.....

    I would prefer 62 coins as my 8 piece type set, have the other 6 are 3 63's & 3 62's, and the 63's are well out of my price range.....


    Thanks for the information.....
