<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CentDime, post: 593527, member: 7297&quot;]I agree it is not certain if the fractional eagles from 2008 with the W mintmark will appreciate much. The only coins that give them hope are the 1999 W error gold fractionals that do sell for a premium. Although the mintages released of those errors in unknown it may be they are close to the 2008 W numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the Jackie Robinson unc gold commemorative had very low demand yet later it is selling for many multiples to its original cost. I think the future of the gold eagles is the collector base and their are many collectors of $5 gold eagles.</p><p><br /></p><p>To assemble a collection of the $5 eagles is much lower than to assemble a collection of one ounce eagles. I think the best chance to make appreciation is with the $5 and $10 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may take a couple of years for the market to see what really happened in 2008, right now it is hard to see how low the mintages fell for many of these coins. Just like the spouse coins that have tailed of dramatically and will one day be collected, the eagles and plat coins will have their day.</p><p><br /></p><p>My favorites in gold though were the buffalo fractionals, the mint gave us a steal on those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
