Comment on Why Did the US Mint Stop Making Gold and Silver Eagles for 2009? by bestimtools

Because they do not want to give you real value.

It’s really better for the government to publish you more money paper (sorry, I meant “money”), rather than giving you bullion into hands.

If you are asking these questions, I would also recommend to ask another question “Why the heck has the jun silver been almost wiped out and whenever you ask a dealer about junk silver on their sites – they say and this is already for a long time!”

Invest into bullion. Be smart! Don’t let the paper money to make you the master of paper.

They sometimes run out of planchets due to high volume of sales. they may catch up and strike more. There is little demand for regular coinage due to the economy so they need something to do. Keep trying. I see plenty for sale by dealers and as was said they do have time limits. Check their web site from time to time. I have not seen any articles that the mint was having problems with eagles.

Comment on What Is the Cheapest Way to Sell My American Eagle Gold Coins? by CoinSupplyExpress.com

Why would you want to sell it? As someone who has been collecting coins all my life, I would just keep it. Those things can be worth a lot of money in the future. They haven’t hit their peak value yet. I would suggest that you get a Dansco binder to keep it in. They look really nice, so you can show off your American Eagle Gold Coins for years to come. I only know this because I run a website called Coin Supply Express. If you think you might keep it instead of selling it, check out my website to see what sort of display options are out there.

It’s far more likely that your scale is a tiny bit off than that the coin isn’t proper weight.

The 33.931 is the minimum amount. When the blanks are produced they arent all exactly the same weight. They weigh the blanks and any that weigh less then 33.931 are melted back down and they redo that meteal into new blanks.

Its real. You dont have anything to worry about.

Comment on What Coins Should I Buy for My Collection? by Taiping

The dealer you talked too was right. Morgan dollars in the grades you have really don’t have collector value. You need to slow down and look around and see what you like or that will hold your interest, for you don’t have a collection but an accumulation. These days a set of cents is out, due to the cost of the 1909-S VDB. I have 2 nice sets of Mercury dimes but they were put together years ago before the 1916-D became so expensive. I do not know how much you have to spend but for investment there are the key and semi key coins of all the series. For fun and knowledge there are world coins and ancient coins. Ancients and world coins if the right ones are also an investment. I devide the coin hobby up to investors they could care less about the coins just the profit, coin collectors who have some goal but mainly fill the holes in albums and last but not least numismatists, they collect coins but know the history about them as well as do research on them either for more info or on varities. Try putting together a nice 20th century type set of U.S. coins in the highest grade you can aford. There is only so much space here and numismatics is a vast subject. Hope this helps.

Comment on What Is the Value of a 1999 MS 68 1/10 Oz $5 American Gold Eagle? by Taiping

The coin has a hugh mintage the highest so far for that series 2,750,338 and most grade at least that high so as a collectors item there is little or no added value. As for the value you need to call a dealer and ask for that days quote. Since gold changes value daily if not hourly no one can give you a correct value here only a very rough guess that may not even be in the ball park tomorrow. Call a couple of dealers and get there offers. They usually pay around spot value maybe a little less. Your coin does have 1/10 ounce of real gold so you can check out the spot value now by using yahoo search and type in gold spot it will take you to the sites that list today’s value at the close of business for one ounce. Hope this helps

Comment on How Much Is a 1986 American Eagle Bullion Coin Worth? by curtisports2

It depends on if you have the bullion coin or the proof collector’s coin. The bullion coin has a rather flat ‘matte’ finish to it, while the proof coin will have mirror-like surfaces and designs that look frosted.

The bullion coin, unless it has been professionally graded in MS69 or MS70, is worth a few dollars above the current value of the silver.

The proof coin with all of the US Mint packaging goes in a range from $40 – $60 on eBay, and professionally graded Proof 69 Deep or Ultra Cameo coins start at $55 and I saw one go for $99.

Timing and eye appeal are the main determinants in getting the highest value. It takes two bidders who really want something badly to drive up the price and when you only have one, you don’t get as much. And with these coins, there can be tiny spots or clouding of the mirrored surfaces, and those coins sell for less.

Assuming you’ve got the silver version, and not the gold…

If you have the uncirculated version, they’re selling at a coin dealer’s shop for a couple of bucks over the bullion value, so if you wanted to sell it, you’d probably get about the bullion value, which right now is about $29.

If you’ve got the proof version (easy to distinguish because the proof has “mirror-like” fields), you could probably sell it to a dealer for around $40-$50.
