African or anywhere else, above and beyond the metal itself?

[I realize of course that vintage coins like a St Gaudens gold piece merits a substantial premium over the price of the raw material.]
There is some collectible value to the coins, and even more for the graded coins. Most experts I have read say just buy metal though.
