I did find out that the mintage numbers on this year were low compaired to others. The one I want to buy is in a PCGS holder that says 2006-W (1/2 oz) Gold Eagles - MS-69 PCGS. Is this a good buy? __________________ This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I've admired its color, its brilliance, its divine heaviness.

I'd think about it before cracking it out. Look on eBay at what half ounces are selling for raw. Then look at prices for PCGS graded ones. It's up to you.   07-03-2009, 09:28 PM   #8 (permalink) Yankee Senior Member     Join Date: May 2009 Posts: 487 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by GDJMSP No. As this gentleman states the eagle is worth no more then bullion. I wonder why they even bother putting these coins in these PCGS holders if they are worth only bullion seems like a waist of money doesn't it?. Well, I learn more each day. __________________ This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I've admired its color, its brilliance, its divine heaviness.

First it certifies the coin is not fake. Second it attracts suckers who will pay $600 for it.   07-03-2009, 10:07 PM   #10 (permalink) Yankee Senior Member     Join Date: May 2009 Posts: 487 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Victor First it certifies the coin is not fake.

As mentioned previously just watch a few eBay auctions for similar coins. Some time ago a Texas firm; Universal Coin & Bullion published a list of the more desired dates. The best lower mintage $25 Gold Eagles are sought for inclusion in Individual Retirement Accounts. Many have already been locked up in IRA plans. This places a premium on the better dates due to lower survival rates and perceived unavailability. The best year was 1991 with just 24,100 produced.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
