Im not sure I'd call these gems, but the two games I really enjoyed as a kid that aren't really popular are Adventures of Dino Riki and Monster Party

Kung Fu Heroes with two players is enjoyable. I almost never hear anyone mention that game. Cheap too.

Are there any Hidden Gems out there that are under the $50 mark? Nothing expensive like a Little Samson.

I would recommend you start to dig around in the Famicom library

I'll second what Warmsignal said and recommend Conquest of the Crystal Palace. It's really fun, but Nintendo hard, so I couldn't get past the third stage. Definitely a game you don't hear people talk about though.

Here's a few:

Journey To Silius
A really fun game that plays like a mix of Contra and Mega Man.  Excellent graphics and great music.

Shatterhand
Very interesting action platformer.  Plays similarly to something like Batman.

Clash at Demonhead
Bizarre action platformer with multiple paths through the game and lots of goodies you can buy for your character.

Battle of Olympus
Blatant Zelda II clone, but a pretty good one.

Willow
Surprisingly good movie game.  This one is a Zelda 1 clone, but has enough of its own merit to be unique.

and while its not really a hidden gem, I'll mention River City Ransom.  Its one of the best co-op games on the NES, if not one of the flat out best games on the console.  Strangely, I still don't own it.  My roommate had it and I haven't gotten my own copy since we parted ways.  I never see it in the wild, and I always get outbid on it on eBay.
