Toned (particularly monster toned) Ikes are doing fairly well (even in common grades and it helps if it's an NGC coin with a "STAR" designation).
If it is a typical dealer, I'd say $0.50-$2 over spot would be your range for Eagles with many being at $1 over (likely slightly more for older...
From what I have seen lately, PCGS tends to be easier on toned coins. So you can try to crack it and send it there. Or potentially send it to...
No double standard here; I'm ok with both Carr and these items. Like it was already said, collect what you like! Plus, altering common Morgans,...
Then there is your answer. If you like it and 26 isn't too much to spend on a coin, then go for it. At worst you overpay by $10-$15; at best you...
That stinks. Maybe someone on this forum has the original order forms or mail ads that have the maximum authorized numbers? Otherwise it looks...
It must be somewhere in the US Mint records. This page looked like it might be promising (it said there was too much data to list), but when one...
Here are the total mintages from the US Mint (still no breakdown by sets): https://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/indexe3df.html?action=hccs42
I was searching and have mostly come up blank. If anyone has the order forms from 1996, there might be information on those. The other source...
The US Mint is one of the few areas of government that is profitable and returns money to the coffers. It is nice that there is an area of...
Follow-up questions asked on the same thread. Hopefully we'll see an answer on Monday.

What you are seeing is a coin that is proof-like; these are not rare, but certainly have a cool look to them (they aren't worth much of a premium;...
Your point about private companies is true. However, big time mints have done the same thing! The Perth Mint went back and reissued various 1990s...
This site has air-tites for 55C each, but the shipping would likely make it expensive for just one:...
I'm pretty sure you are correct. Maybe it was his original before he upgraded?
Depends on what you want. Flips are the least expensive; air-tites are safer and still fairly inexpensive (especially in relation to the price of...
Ebay is fairly safe with the buyer protections. And if you stick to some of the big dealers, like Apmex, JM Bullion, Bay Precious Metals, then it...
Hey if it helps them sell more items, that's all that matters. Many people rely on product ratings on other sites/items, so it must work the same...
If you watch the ebay daily deals page, they have gold eagles/buffalos/maples as low as $15 over spot (and often under $40 over spot) from trusted...
