XF $10 Indian Head Blues

[ShinyHunterTPT]

So, in America its tax return season. After everything was said and done, I had enough to make me first chunky gold purchase.  For me it was the $10 Indian Head. I always loved the look of the coin and it was finally within my budget.

 

However, as excited as I was, I have come crashing down. Whilst on YourTube  learning about the history of the coin history, I stumbled on some commentary on the coin itself. The experts in the video trashing the XF grade of Indian Heads saying it's not worth the buy if it's not MS. 

Maybe I'm crazy. I am a not a collector, not a stacker. I dunno, it was finally within my budget and now I feel like I've duped myself listening to the commentary.

 

What are y'all's thoughts?

I do like the design of the $10 Indian Head coin. The eagle is gorgeous. It is on my "must have some day" coin list as well. Pay no heed to negatives IMO - if it is an easy on the eye coin, you have not gone wrong. They are highly collectible coins and such a coveted design they have even copied to generic silver rounds. Looking at the USA stackers sales ads they always get snapped up quick, so you will likely encounter no difficulty liquidating it if you so would choose in the future. Enjoy your coin and if you'd like, post a pic of it for us to salivate on on the "Today I received" thread here and see how many likes you'll get! 😊

Buy what you like.  If you are not paying too much above spot for the XF grade you can't go too far wrong.  But make sure it is genuine - there seem to be quite a number of forgeries of the Indian Head coin around.
