On feebay they run from 100-150$. I'm on a limited budget so is it worth even getting these or should I just use it for silver 2$ above spot? Opinions welcome   06-26-2009, 12:05 AM   #2 (permalink) CentDime Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 654 I think it is worth it to buy the 2006 w gold eagle, the 2007 w gold eagle, and the 2008 w gold eagle as they are the low mintage coins of the 1/10 uncirculated gold eagles. Also the 2008 w buffalo 1/10 gold if you can get a steal on one of those.   06-26-2009, 12:07 AM   #3 (permalink) danisanub Sales Associate     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Allentown, Pennsylvania Posts: 401 Anywhere in particular I can grab them? or just use ebay?   06-26-2009, 12:07 AM   #4 (permalink) desertgem Senior Errer Collecktor     Join Date: Jul 2008 Posts: 2,492 My Mood: I think $100 is reasonable as there is a premium over what would be expected for corresponding larger units. At the last couple of coin shows, I have been able to buy them in a slab for $105. I only buy them to use as gifts ( Christmas, birthdays, graduations, etc.).

Going rate today is around $120-125   06-26-2009, 02:50 AM   #7 (permalink) CentDime Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 654 Here is the difference between the 2008: 2008 gold eagle 1/10 http://cgi.ebay.com/2008-Fine-Gold-5...3%3A1|294%3A50 2008 W Gold eagle 1/10 http://cgi.ebay.com/2008-W-GOLD-EAGL...3%3A1|294%3A50 The first one is high mintage, the second one is the low mintage one. Be sure to get the ones with the W. For all three years it is the same. I would buy graded coins if you can, just try to snipe them off of Ebay, bid at the last minute only if possible.   06-26-2009, 11:14 AM   #8 (permalink) andrew289 Senior Analyst   Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,258 Personally, I don't like the 1/10oz size. It's soooo small. If you have a limited budget..either save it for a while and buy a 1/2oz or just buy silver (more bang for the buck). You can get a nice roll of mixed date circulated silver quarters for $120.   06-26-2009, 02:06 PM   #9 (permalink) danisanub Sales Associate     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Allentown, Pennsylvania Posts: 401 yeah I just bought 7 ounces in bars yesterday, I'm pretty set with silver. I want to grab some gold incase silver divebombs, so I'll just save up for the 1/2 oz   06-26-2009, 04:37 PM   #10 (permalink) Ripley Senior Member     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: California Posts: 770 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 Estate auctions are a great price to find a good buy on 1/10 th or any coin. Traci   06-26-2009, 05:22 PM   #11 (permalink) andrew289 Senior Analyst   Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,258 I just hate paying the premiums for the fractionals. For example Apmex currently list these prices. 1/10 - 127 ...thats 127x10= 1,270 an ounce. 1/4 - 282 ..thats 282x4 = 1,128 an ounce 1/2 - 545 ..thats 545x2 = 1,090 an ounce 1 oz - 980 an ounce. By buying 1/10 coins you are paying $290 more an ounce.   07-08-2009, 10:35 AM   #12 (permalink) elaine 1970 jasmine     Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: new york city Posts: 5,390 My Mood: 2008w am buffalo gold proof: one ounce - $2,150.00 half ounce - $1,025.00 or $2,050 per oz. 1/4 ounce - $680.00 or $2,720.00 per oz. 1/10 ounce-$400.00 or $4,000.00 per oz. the 1/10 oz. went up faster than the rest.   07-08-2009, 11:28 AM   #13 (permalink) Yankee Senior Member     Join Date: May 2009 Posts: 488 My Mood: I got this one at melt price There are deals out there you just have to look!

That said if that is in your budget, it is better then doing nothing. Good MS 69 coins can be had for reasonable prices if you watch what you are doing. Many are not worth putting under plastic unless you purchase that way. Summer time may bring a lull, to buy in. If by Christmas gold goes over a thousand dollars.The stimulus money hits the markets as newly printed currency. Then all bets are off how much gold will go up, and how much inflation will be generated .
