Is there a premium on Proof Eagles and Proof Commemorative Gold U.S. Mint products from the 1980's and 1990's? Got a guy wanting to sell me some and not sure about the value. Thanks.
It depends. When it comes to the AGEs some dates do carry more of a premium than other dates. And with some commems same kind of thing, some carry a larger or even much larger premium than others. The best way to find out which is which is to look them on Heritage and check the realized auction prices - then compare them to each other.
Thanks everyone. Refiner pays 99% of spot on mint products and a major dealer is only paying spot. Just seems like there should be some higher, if only slightly higher, value on proof gold. Thanks again.
Ehh, unless its a PF70. There is typically a premium on the private market, but to dealers and smelters, gold is gold.
