I've been told that these coins stopped minting early and that this might be worth substantially more than the gold spot. Can anyone here confirm this? __________________ Hello... my name is Mark, and I am a silver addict.   05-30-2009, 04:59 PM   #2 (permalink) Cloudsweeper99 Treasure Hunter     Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 5,234 You bought for a great price. The $5 coins usually seem to sell for more than spot anyway. I can't confirm whether the mintage is low, but gold coins don't seem to develop big premiums as easily as other coins. I suspect this might be because few people collect gold by the usual date/mintmark method.   05-30-2009, 09:56 PM   #3 (permalink) Blue Angel Senior Member   Join Date: Jun 2008 Posts: 143 My Mood: I just sold one for $125.   06-01-2009, 04:58 AM   #4 (permalink) CentDime Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 654 The picture is small but if it is a 2008 and has a small W under the 2008 then it is a low mintage coin. Those were only sold from the mint directly, the regular 2008 without a W were sold by dealers. My guess is the one you have has no W so is the high mintage coin though.
