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!

Will the current market price for this coin which is currently $2300, drop when the economy recovers? Should I sell it now when the price for gold is at the highest? Will the value of this coin keep on increasing since it has the lowest mintage of all gold buffalo ever minted. Or will the price for this coin drop sharply when the 2010 gold buffalo is minted next year?

1999 $25 dollar Proof Gold coin..Is this coin a “very rare” coin? On Ebay it’s “BuyItNow” price is $2,355!!!?

I was recently looking at currency items on Ebay, and I came across a 1999 $25 dollar Proof Gold coin that was for sale, and noticed it had a "Buy It Now" price of $2,355 dollars. I am fairly new to collecting coins, so I was hoping someone could please possibly help me out with a question I had about that coin. Is this coin a "very rare" coin? Is it because it's been graded by chance? Or is it a rare coin as far as the year? I have searched all over the web trying to find this out, and realized several sites that deal in gold coins had several $25.00 gold coins for sell, but the 1999 coin wasn't available in their lists, they had surrounding years, but skipped 1999. Is this coin a "very rare" coin? I would greatly appreciate your help & response to this, It's driving me crazy trying to find out an honest response by searching the web, It interest me because i believe i may also have this coin in a collection i have in storage, but mine has not been graded. Does having the coin graded greatly increase the value as well? Again, I would really appreciate any help on this, and look forward to your response. I Would Appreciate An Urgent Honest Response!
