As per my own interest, I liked the coins featured there. Have a look at $2.5 Liberty Quarter Eagle (pictured here) Designed by Christian Gobrecht in 1840, the Liberty Quarter eagle holds the distinction of keeping the same design for the longest time in American history: thirty-three years. The famous design of the Saint-Gaudens eagle is actually only a modification of the original by Gobrecht featured on this coin. The obverse features the bust of Miss Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with "Liberty", facing to the the left. She is also surrounded by thirteen stars The reverse design features a bald eagle in flight clutching an olive branch and arrows. It has a shield emblazoned on its chest and is surrounded by "The United States Of America." This coin was graded Mint State 64.
Similarly, Gold South African Krugerrand is of a great historic interest. The Krugerrand's obverse, designed by O. Schultz, features the first President of the South African Republic, Paul Kruger. Due to Kruger's relationship with Apartheid, these coins are the least expensive of all the major gold bullion coins. Kruger is surrounded by the name of his nation in Afrikaans and English, two of South Africa's eleven official languages: "Suid-Afrika • South Africa". A springbok (a South African antelope) prances across the reverse, as designed by C.L. Steynberg. This side also lists the date of issue and the amount and purity of the gold. Interestingly, the Krugerrand does not carry a face value, as it is primarily minted for trading outside South Africa.
I suggest you have a look at Gold Coins Gain before you buy gold coin or buy bullion.
