I'm new to collecting and I was wondering if this coin is more valuable as a collector item or just scrap gold. Thank You
AGEs will have a slight premium over melt but mostly are just sold as bullion. A dealer would likely buy under or at melt. Someone else may pay a bit more.
It depends on who ya ask. About 90% of the numismatic community considers the bullion coins to be just that - bullion, and nothing more. But, the other 10 % collect them, and to them, the coins can have numismatic value added on based on the usual things, date, mint, condition.
