Answer by ibu guru
Gold and silver are traded on the markets. So are platinum, palladium, copper, zinc, wheat, corn, and all kinds of commodities. The prices change constantly during trading hours as traders buy & sell these. It's analogous to trading stocks on the stock markets, foreign exchange on the forex markets, etc. You can look up prices a lot of places, including Yahoo Finance, stockbrokerages, various gold trading outfits, etc. Most will have charts tracking prices over a period of time.

Gold coins typically sell for a premium over spot bullion, but again the prices are "set" by traders as they actively trade. When lots of people want Eagles, Kruggerands, etc, and supplies are tight, the premiums over spot bullion can increase sharply. Again, it's like trading other commodities. When the world is short of wheat and people want to eat, the price can jump quite sharply. When there is a bumper crop, prices drop.

Question by LBTNG: What type of Gold American Eagle coins are best to put into a gold IRA?
I have decided to buy a gold IRA, but there is conflicting information given by different companies.

Some say to put Gold "proof" American Eagles in it, because they are more valuable than non-proof American Eagles. Others say that it is not worth it, because the coins, when in an IRA, are only valued based on the value of the metal itself, and not on the collectible value, so this is just a way for the salesman to make a better commission from you.

Does anyone know the real answer to this question?

Answer by dmatt
The fees can be crazy on holding physical gold in an IRA, and many companies are no more than elaborate scams. If you want to own gold, buy the GLD ETF. GLD is the worlds second largest holder of physical gold, and its much much much cheaper to buy that than physical gold. If you still want physical gold buy bullion. Bullion does not have the collector value that coins have and as such your value won't fluctuate with the collector market, just the gold and currency markets. If you're not stuck on buying gold in your IRA, take a look at the bullion offered on ebay, thats a really cheap way to own physical gold and its easy to sell for cheap on ebay. I've done this myself, just be selective with what gold you buy, make sure its in a sealed pack and comes with a certificate from a reputable mine like Pamp Suisse.

Question by cl3071700: I am looking for advice when purchasing a Platinum American Eagle coin...?
First off i started collecting 6 months ago and have acquired coins from a Morgan to Seated liberty half to silver eagle, presidential dollar, commemoratives, etc. I purchased my first gold coin a 2008 buffalo graded by ANACS in SP 70(satin) Now i am looking to purchase a platinum eagle and have narrowed it down to a 2008 NGC coin. I am aware that these coins come in MS 69/ MS 70 with a regular label or the E.R. I like the idea of early release but would like to have a MS 70 grade. Looking at PCGS price grade a 1997 in MS 70 is listed at ,000. The value of a 1997 in MS 69 is 5 so this brings me to believe that i am much better off purchasing a 70 grade. (tho they did not offer E.R. in 1997) I am looking at this from a collectors viewpoint and would like to say that i own a ,000 coin (i am aware this may not appreciate in all cases) would paying 0 dollars for a regular 2008 MS 70 be overpaying by too much, this seems to suit my price range as i know platinum is around a G/ounce. i am trying to decide between the regular label MS 70 or an E.R. 69 please share anything advice/comment you may have. 21/male. thank you

Answer by FRED M
MS 70 is the highest grade possible it is the closest to being perfect as your going to get, it is also the most expensive if a MS-69 cost 0 then an MS-70 will at minimum be double the price. There is also the grade of Deep Cameo MS-70 this coin will let you see yourself as if looking in a mirror this is the most Expensive grade I know of. Good luck

Answer by liberty 911
With the current value of 1/10 troy ounce of gold at over 0US, a coin dealer would pay slightly less than that.

Question by orchid4242: When will they release the 2009 silver american eagle proof?

Best answer:

Answer by Taiping
No date has been set yet. It depends on how busy the mint is. In 2009 we will have 4 different Lincoln cents in collector strikes as well as circulation strikes this will take up some time the first of the year so maybe by spring or early summer. You will just have to wait for the mint to say just when.

Question by Dewayne: Is buying Gold, Platinum or Silver American Eagle Proof coins (US Mint) a good investment?
I imagine this would depend of the how the price of gold, platinum or silver does in the marketplace, but would there also be a collectors' interest even if the prices of metals took a downturn?

Answer by GuamGuy
Basic way of making money:

Buy low, sell high.

Look at the current cost of gold and silver and compare it to the last 50 years. Is it low right now? If you're buying "high" then it's not a good investment.

Question by RB: What is the cheapest way to sell my American Eagle gold coins?
I have 10 one ounce 2008 American Gold Eagle gold coins that I want to sell.

I could go to the broker I bought it from, but he charges 3% commission.

Are there anywhere else that I can sell it for cheaper commission?

Best answer:

Answer by T.J.
You need to call around to several coin shops in your area.

Bullion coins are in demand now. You should be able to get spot or above.

I sold some last week for over spot. The current spot price is about ,345, but changes throughout the day. I would not take less than spot. Call around and see who is paying the most, I would stay away from a broker. That sounds like a ripoff. Do a google search for "gold bullion + your city". The local coin shops pay the most. The spot price may go up or down by the time you drive over to the shop, but at least you know who is paying the most over spot.
