What coin to buy?

[tbone]

Need help deciding which gold coin to buy.  I guess I could do a poll, but I'd like feedback too.  My budget is $2k max, but the higher the price the more special this coin must be for me.  I really like these options, but others are very appreciated:

1. Reverse proof buffalo (2013),  pop 47k (PF-69)

 

2. 2009 Ultra High Relief, pop 115K (MS-69)

  

3. $10 Indian Head MS-64 (random date):

 

 

The UHR is the most expensive, followed by the buffalo and then the Indian.

This would be my choice.

My choice would be 2 the 2009 UHR of those 3. Or a PF70 1oz Proof Libertad if there were other options.

Number 3 for me

Number 3 is very pretty and would be delightful to have in your hand.

just on looks as i've no knowledge, i'd pick number one

imo,

nos. 1 and 2 are too much of a gimmick.

(rated ms 69 for a recent non circulating coin

doesn't help)

of the 3, nos. 3 is the only decent coin.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.  I think I'm leaning towards the UHR, but one question:  Should I buy it slabbed (69) without box/papers, or get box/papers and take the chance that they have been cherry picked and I'm getting a problem coin (a grading reject).

 @tbone why don't you go for an origional St gaudens? Then you have the beauty of the design and the history of the coin also.  The market is low at the minute for them so should be a good time to pick up.  Perhaps with the change you could pick up in ungraded $10 Indian head

Hi Cornishfarmer, I love the original St Gaudens, but I already have one in MS-64, and I'm looking for a piece that I don't already have.  Something that is a bit different than the usual coins (lunars, libertads, maples, sovs, etc). 

If I didn't already have one, the original $20 eagle would be my choice!  As for ungraded Indian head, I'm worried that I'll pay for a BU and get an AU or problem coin (cleaned, scratched, etc)

[tbone]

So I've decided to go for the $10 Indian Head in MS-64.  I found a very good example with great luster at my LCS, although in an older NGC holder.  Still a very nice coin, will post a pic when I get a chance.  Thanks everyone for the comments!

Never buy a modern 69 coin unless there is an ultra scarce 70 pop like the 1/4 gold Griffin. With 2k I would try to find a nice 5 sovereign piece.

1.!Reverse relief buffalo.

It looks the nicest.
