I heard that the price of gold is expected to skyrocket in the near future. I would love to make an investment in it, but I have only a limited amount of cash right now. I have researched a few sites on the internet but most of them either charge large premiums or sell in packages. What is the easiest and least expensive way to purchase a half-ounce gold american eagle coin?
I would instead look at buying US commemorative gold on ebay instead. They are about a quarter ounce, so buy two. I have seen many sales of commemoratives lately from 1987 and 1988 selling for bullion prices. You could check out half eagles there as well.
I would say you should always use a credit card with any online transactions involving bullion. I buy with Paypal charging my credit card. Too many scary stories of fraudulent sellers out there to trust anything else.

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
Price:
$16.95
$14.49
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
Price:
$315.00
$231.51
Made in U.S.A.

Flag is trimmed with 2" gold fringe and 4" tassels.
With the price of gold over $900 should I sell my American Eagle gold coins? I have 5 ounces. Bought them when they were selling them for $700.

Most web sites that track American Eagle prices give the selling price. To keep track of my investment I need to know the buying price. The price I could get if the coins were sold. Is there a site that gives updated daily prices for both buy and sell?
I will probably just stay with the bid/ask price of gold and silver and not worry about the coin premium.
its hard to say. since there are so few gold coins actually circulating it is hard to put a price tag on them because you could get some VERY different prices depending on who buys. If you sell to a pawn shop or some site like cash4gold.com you are going to get pennies on the dollar in terms of worth but if you sell to someone who doesn't really understand what he's buying you could get spot price or higher for them. So its impossible to get a perfect fair value.
its been a while since I have dealt with these, the following assumes that they are one ounce coins and sell new for aprox $50 over spot.
that said a reasonable estimate might be to take the current gold spot price which you can find at http://kitco.com/market/ subtract 2.5% (if you are optimistic) 5% if you are pessimistic and multiply by the number of coins you have.
