A Reasonable Price Your guesstimate is accurate for an Almost Uncirculated Double Eagle coin of these dates, as supported by the current COIN DEALER newsletter, and a quick search of eBay offerings. You may acquire a raw less desirable lower state coin for less than your price, but probably would be dissatisfied with the quality. These coins often came from the mint in a "damaged state", and didn't circulate well without appreciable damage/wear. This is probably a poor place to ask about current purchase values for that type of coin, as this generally appears to be a source of frugal buyers. I haven't received a bid when offering PCGS certified Gold at less than spot. Silver coins offered at less than melt go without response, with bragging of purchases at less than wholesale. Now, I believe their general selling prices are probably close to Red Book values. If someone on this site offers a lesser price, have them post their less expensive coins in the classified section so that you might purchase. I'm giving odds on offerings. I have these dates, which I sell very competitively, but surely wouldn't sell a century old "Mint State" coin at virtually that being net paid for a modern AGE of ~similar Gold content. LOL :smile
