1 Oz Gold American Eagle

Is the gold a more dense metal? Or is is simply an optical illusion and the thickness is actually greater on the gold coin?

It is not an optical illusion. Gold is the denser metal, as you correctly suspect. Therefore, when comparing coins of the same weight of gold and silver, the gold coin will be the smaller in size.

Besides, gold coins are just fascinating to collect!

Some of my 1/10 oz gold coins. Canadian Maple, South African Kruggerand, American Eagle, Chinese Panda. A good way to start investing in gold. Enjoy

The 1986 AGE $10 quarter oz is being sold for around $190 each, with gold at $657 per oz. Price is for raw AGE coin; slabbed and graded AGEs command higher premiums among collectors.

I recently found an ad in a finanaical magazine advertising the 2006 Gem BU (MS65) NGC-cert Silver American Eagle for $10 each (without NGC casing) and similar Gold Eagle (1/10 oz) selling for $63 each. Even the spots for silver and gold are more than those prices - too good to be true? What do you think?

Since the ad was in a magazine, the time the ad was submitted is at least 1-2 months ago. At that time gold and silver were trading lower than they are today, so those prices were probably above spot at that time. Maybe there's some small print in the ad to cover themselves for changes in spot price.

1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz, & 4 coin set.

ebay tracks the gold price pretty closely, you'll never get less than the scrap price for a coin (but you should get more)
1oz is currently going for about 1100USDs - about 700GBPs
