American Gold Eagle Bullion Coin

I don't want to get ripped off
wise_irish_owl...i'm not that stupid, i know it is not that cheap...if it were everybody would be stocking up on it. I know a quarter ounce is at least $100 - $200. I want someone who knows the real answer to tell me...like a gold collector.

If it is a common date coin, it is worth between $130-150, depending on the current gold market prices.

In this episode of Spare Change we look at the American Gold Eagle bullion and the collector American Eagle gold coins (proofs and burnished ...

what are the chances a $10, 1/4 ounce bullion gold eagle from 2004 is counterfeit? i got it on eay for $260, or is it too much money to counterfeit a lower valued coin? it looks like gold, but i fear it may be fake.

I already sent you an answer here and have checked with others and find no fakes reported of American Eagle Gold coins. To be safe weigh the coin. Also look at it for pock marks such as raised dots and the lettering in the legends should be sharp with no unsharp lines. You did not say where it came from. Most coins from China are fakes.

i just bought on ebay for $280, a 2004 bullion $10 american gold eagle, the edges and lettering are perfect, no mottling or pockmarks, the US mint states they're supposed to weigh 8.483 grams, but when i weighed mine, it syas it is 8.522, off the stated mass by .039, is this normal? seeing how each coin can't be identical?

yeah i would say thats a pretty good fake but if you dont believe me call the FBI and ask them cuz they only supposed to be .012 off

Hi, i am about to buy gold bullion but i want to understand that what should be the price i should expect when selling it back in the market. I understand that it is lower than spot price but how much lower will it be? maybe in percentage.

Can you also tell me if the difference of price drop while selling a Credit Suisse gold vs. American Eagle gold coin.

Thankyou

The typical markup at purchase and fee at sale is 5% to 8% from current spot price for any gold sale, so you should shop around.

But turns out American Eagle Coins are in a whole price category by themselves. They're usually 60 dollars more than an ounce of any other kind of coin. Check out this site. http://www.monex.com/monex/controller?pa geid=prices I paid the price of gold bullion, but the American eagle coin itself says it's 60 bucks more. So why did the guy at the coin gallery charge me bullion price?

He could have been an idiot.

The coins could be fakes, (maybe get them checked?)

Or he could be simply trying to off load them to pay that month's bills :S
