A relative is graduating college with a degree in economics.
Which of these choices would make the best graduation present?
1/10 gold U. S. eagle
5 Ruble Csar Nicholas gold coin (his name is Nicholas)
Redfield Peace dollar, not much of coin collector, but Peace dollars are his favorite series

If given gold, the only winner might be the nearest coin shop.

Still, a great object lesson...plus, the relative will either get to see the effects of feeding-frenzy supply/demand scenario that will drop like a rock after the hype, or they'll have a pretty sound investment likely to increase in value several times over.
But only time will tell

Is there a particular reason? There are dozens of countries that make/made gold coins, why would you pick the Philippines for an American student?
It's a super cool coin and that would be my first choice; some history and it's gold!!!
Come on, as a grad I would not have appreciated a coin like the one's mentioned nearly as much as I would have appreciated cash. Like others have said, it'll probably end up getting sold at a pawn shop/coin shop anyway. Unless you know the grad is into coins already, I'd buy a nice card and fill it with cash for sure.

Agree. As much as we love coins, most people don't care about them. Give him a Franklin and I don't mean a coin.

After they graduate regift the coin to them as their graduation present.
I voted for the Russian gold. I think it's pretty cool.
