hello and welcome to cointalk. I assume you are talking $4,000 USD and if so I think you paid a little much but it depends on the grading company. If you can give us some more details or some pictures that would help. Thanks J
i would say yes as gold has just broken 1000 dollars and is around 1066. that is if they are 1oz coins. You have to remember though that these dealers charge a premium over spot for the coins. It also depends on the value of the coin itself. i mean if it is a 50 dollar gold equal pcgs for MS 70 has them valued at 1,400 but that is the dealer price. if they are less than 50 dollars then you paid way to much and did get ripped off.
The "4 coin set" I believe refers to the uncirculated "w" mint mark set, not just regular bullion coins (I Hope). The set would include the $50 1 ounce, the $25 1/2 oz, $10 1/4 oz and $5 1/10 for a total weight of 1.85 oz. I think if it is an NGC early release set then it is probably worth about $2500-$3000 if you find the right buyer. I would just hold on to the set for now as gold is sure to continue to rise and you will definitely get your money back out of it eventually
Ah ok. yea i would hold onto it. from what i understand gold is about a 5 year investment to get your money back. i didn't go with gold i went with collector coins. which to me brings a better value as even if the gold market does go down it is the collectability of the coin that makes it worth it. i have seen almost 100 dollar+ jump from when i bought it till now. granted the retail value is probably more but finding someone that would pay retail is a bit harder. however it is an investment so i can afford to just sit and wait.
