Taking A Craigslist Chance

OK, done deal. Think it was just someone who bought it and decided to get rid of it. Here it is (out of focus but...eh)




coin is 3.11 g alone and 5.25 in the capsule.

Interesting question occurs to me...an AGE 1/10 oz is $5, why is this one $10?

 

I've been wondering that for 5 years. Or is it 10 years?.

 

har har de har har

 

I was going to make a snarky comment about it being 3/5 of a $10 1/4-ounce AGE, but it's actually 2/5.

And then there's the 1/2-ounce First Spouse gold, also carrying a $10 face value...

 

I’m getting pepper spray this weekend

 

You did well right. You seem to be of sound mind and body

 

Could it be $10 because it is

the American Liberty series, which is $100 FV?

 

If that is really what you got for a discounted 1/10 ounce gold coin price, you got the steal of the week. I just hope the person who sold it

 

I hope so too.

 

The one-ounce is $100 FV

 

The mint had the sense to assign a face value to American Eagle Gold Coins. That makes them "coins" and not "gold rounds" which gives you a sales tax advantage in many states.

 

Yup, that's my understanding of it. Does the Mint strike any precious metal pieces that do not bear a denomination?

 

They have in the past. Way back when they issued a Benjamin Franklin firefighters piece. You will have to pay sales tax on that in most states unless your buy $500 worth of them, at least in Massachusetts.




The mint has also reproduced some presidential medals on ASE planchets that had not stated face value.

I vaguely remember a space set from years ago that looked like a three piece clad, silver and gold set that should have been issued as a half dollar, silver dollar and $5 gold, but wasn't.

 

A whole series. Here's the latest......

 

I make offers on these 1/10 oz. fine Gold daily, and have never acquired a coin for <$265 before tax/shipping!

 

My best recent delivery: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374760679685

 

I see the problem (MS70) people pay extra attention to those.

 

You are correct, but here is a better buy that I should receive in 2 days (i.e. 7/1/23): https://www.ebay.com/itm/1259816964...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

JMHO

 

It is a proof coin, so more glam to many. More money to mint IMO
