Looks like a nice Indian. Enjoy!
Very pleased that you bought that gold coin in a TPG slab. Good decision.
Beautiful! Nice score. Won't be your last.
Cheers

Absolutely 👍 I try stay away from raw gold.
Overall, I've been very fortunate in owning raw USA gold, but my worst batting average is with $5 gold Indians. Both $2 1/2 gold and $5 gold Indians, I would only buy in a major TPG slab.
Nice pickup! I posted my brief review in the other thread. I went but did not end up buying anything. Show was pretty busy around noon.

Nice pick up! It will pair nicely with your Gold Eagle.
What BillDugan said. It's good advise.
Wow what a pickup for your first show very nice!!
That's a nice-looking Indian! Congratulations!!

I think the advice to buy only slabbed gold is a good point. I've been collecting for nearly 60 years and these days I strictly stay away from raw gold. If you try for a date set of $2.50 gold it's an affordable set.
Congrats! Looks like it was a nice cozy little show.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Great pick up, Agree that TPG coins offer the most safety but that being said, I do buy plenty of raw American gold. I have the luxury of the assistance of several American gold experts - purchasing raw gold does offer the chance to find some solid deals not possible buying slabbed coins.
Congratulations! I've always wanted one, and think it's the most beautiful design ever minted.

Congratulations on a nice purchase... the $5 gold Indian is a favorite of mine... have shown my 1909D here many times. Seems like you are getting the 'fever'...stick to slabs for now... I am sure you will be showing us some more gold... soon....

A great pick up my coin brother 👌👌
It’s a coin I have bean wanting for over a year, thrilled to have it. Now I need to get a Indian quarter eagle again to complete my Indian head gold type set.
$5 Indians are classic. Great work...looks like a very nice 62 example!

That peace has some nice luster, is it a Ms 63 examples?
Nice coin 👍
@markelman1125 It's a 64. The price initially gave me pause, but looking back, I'm glad I did it, you never see 64's...
