My boyfriend collects coins and I was hoping to add something to his collection for his birthday. I don't know much about it, but I know he only has one gold coin and he wants to expand that. I want to get him something interesting as well as valuable. He wanted a $50 gold proof with an Indian on one side and a buffalo on the other. Its .999 pure gold MS70 and it's going for 700 dollars atleast online. I can't afford something that expensive.
I am looking for a list of coins and hopefully links so I can see what they look like. Preferably gold and U.S. coins. Thanks!

Gold coins are not inexpensive and the new ones coming out are not collector coins but investor coins. They will only go up in value if gold goes up. If you want one of these items they do make tenth of an ounce and 1/4 of an ounce bullion coins that are not to bad in price. See a coin dealer. He may also have some 2 1/2 or $5 gold coins that were made to be used as money, in grade fine or very fine for $150.00 and up. At least these are collectors items. I have one gold coin, it is a doubloon and I bought it years ago, just to have a coin that might have been stolen by a pirate. They cost to much for me to buy one today. Your best bet, see some coin dealers.

people who suggested do no longer do it, are you loopy yet relatively the main purpose isn't probable to get wealthy of this gold upward push plot, mutually as you could sell them in case you recognize the ultimate guy or woman. Now the wonderful way is to locate a close-by forex shops that fairly bargains with gold, silver and helpful metals we've one in calgary observed as albern funds, they have a internet site you ought to take a glance in case you like yet on the grounds that your no longer from calgary you ought to purchase online yet i wager there are places like those the place you reside. you may additionally attempt a distant places funds replace workplace and that i do no longer recommend the financial enterprise there are places that bargains fairly to replace funds i've got been given some silver funds from some close by ones. So do an elementary google map seek for stuff like those on your area and pass pass to them and notice what they have. I even have finished this seek and located many places that does bullion ingots like silver/gold bars. Now as i suggested interior the commencing up some purchase it so they could sell while its greater nicely a stable theory is to do the two sell a number of the gold/silver you have shop the rest you in no way understand what is going to happen interior the destiny and in case the fiat device fails you have backed up your wealth.

Show him your intelligence by not buying gold when its real high but instead wait for it to go down to reasonable levels.
