<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CentDime, post: 256644, member: 7297&quot;]I think that the vast majority of modern gold eagles are actually only worthy of being considered as a bullion investment as the mintages are generally high on the series. Also all of the coins look alike unlike in other series such as the spouse coins or the commemoratives.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I was going to buy gold right now as a future play the spouse series might be best as you get 24-karat gold and also get them at mint issue prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a comparison the lowest mintage 1/2 ounce gold proof eagle is the 2001 with a mintage of 23,261. The spouse coins that just came out have a lower mintage at around 20,000 in proof [assuming the mint is accurate of the even split between proof and uncirculated].</p><p><br /></p><p>However if I was to buy eagles I would buy them off of Ebay at close to melt value and get graded coins. I think you can get many of the series at melt if you want them already.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
