Hmm....I have, now shipped to me, a $10 random date Indian head pre-33 eagle for less than the cost of modern bullion. The coin is said to be in VF condition, from a very well reviewed seller.
A 1/2 oz gold eagle is selling for maybe $15 dollars more.
Still, I'm excited because I've wanted one of these coins for quite some time, but never wanted to pay the high premium for them. It seems like the premiums on pre-33 gold may be going back down.
Any thoughts?
