Advice for a PM gift?

I'm (hopefully) selling a property on Wednesday. This has been a 7 year long journey, and the agent who helped me with the purchase (and has helped me with a dozen buys and sells since) is representing me at the close, too.
He's a PM fan, we talk metals often. He doesn't have much physical. So I'd like to give him something kinda nice.
My dealer has slabbed saints and libs, a dozen MS62ish NGC slabbed $10 libs, an unc 2006 buffalo in the mint cello.
Thoughts? My dealer will pull stuff out of his top secret stash for me, so almost anything within reason is possible. What would you look/vote for?

Still, nothing says THANK YOU like a St. Gaudens. Maybe something in an old rattler holder would make it a bit xtra special.
Congrats again on the sale!

This would be my answer also. Keep the cost down amap while still giving an awesome gift.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
I knew it would happen.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I'd thought about something from my stash but dismissed it. Maybe I'll reconsider. Any other ideas?

And ditto on an older purchase piece that you already have.

I would go with a set of 2010 1/10 world modern bullions: AGE, Krug, Philha, Panda and Maple.
Maybe in airtites and in a nice display box.
Just my 2c.

What is a "$5 saint"?

I don't collect PMs beyond ASE (all I can afford), I just assumed since there are $5 indians, there were $5 saints.

No there were $5 Libs.....The Indians ($5,$10, and 2 1/2 dollars coins) are used to complete the Saint side of a gold set.
or 1 of these? if you can find one:
I went through my stash (digitally, at least) and didn't think anything was right.
Went to my dealer and he offered me a huge assortment of pieces. MS $10 and $20 pieces, modern stuff, first wives (nice presentation pieces), etc.
Finally narrowed it down to a...
2004 PCGS MS69 half eagle. Hefty but not huge, PCGS, slabbed. My dealer threw in a nice presentation box.
