    I’ve been looking at an 18th century Dutch ducat for a bit now. I know the recent proof versions, as well as common 1927s and 28s, can be had for a small premium over the spot price of gold. How much of a premium should the older 18th century ones fetch? The one I’m looking at is a common date in XF condition.
    Thank you

    Unless you can be a bit more specific regarding prox. date, how is one to be able to estimate a value? My suggestion is to check eBay or auction houses for latest sales.

    My apologies, good sir. The one I’m pondering is of the year of our lord, 1771.

    Well, I know he's not taking offers but I make offers all the time when sellers aren't taking offers. Sometimes I get stuff for a little bit less and sometimes I don't. Welcome to CoinTalk and good luck! ;) I own one but it's not anything special but I like it! :D

    I really like the proof versions, especially the 85. It seems as if the design changed from 86 onward. I also really like the older proof cases they came in. I plan on picking one of these up someday.

    Yes, in hand they are stunning! The engraving on the design is amazing and intricate which makes it a beautiful coin! :cigar: I hope to get another someday but I'm gonna wait for the price of gold to go down a bit. thumbsup.gif

    I decided to make the purchase this morning only to find it sold. My gut was telling me to get it for the last few days but I’m so hesitant when it comes to making large (for me) purchases. Oh well, I’m sure another one will pop up someday.

    I found a company selling these at a very reasonable price on eBay. Unfortunately, they do not include the beautiful case.

    Someone bought the one below, see it just depends how bad someone wanted it as it definitely has value and it wasn't a terrible price. Just a high premium when you're thinking in bullion terms but it was worth the asking price! :D
