Since Christmas is coming and a gold coin is the sole item on my "list", I've decided to look on Ma-shops to get something (since in my country you can't really find the gold coins I'm interested in and buying from different countries is the only option). Anyway, I'm a huge fan of US coinage so this is going to be a tough one. I've picked 4 coins that match my budget, but I am really unsure of which I should get, so maybe some of you can help me with this one.
1. 1851 1$ gold: https://www.ma-shops.com/obernd/item.php5?id=6945&lang=en
2. 1851 1$ gold (lower grade, is the price difference between this and number 1 really worth it??): https://www.ma-shops.com/numismaticclassics/item.php5?id=2250&lang=en
3. 1852 2.5$: https://www.ma-shops.com/numismaticclassics/item.php5?id=2302&lang=en
4. 1909 2.5$: https://www.ma-shops.com/gornymosch/item.php5?id=904296&lang=en
I can't wait for some feedback from you guys, because I'm really tempted to get a gold US coin. I am also consdiering some German States gold coins and a Russian Empire 5 roubles coin, but I think these are the hardest to resist.
Thanks a lot! :)
