<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2765795, member: 22331&quot;]If you were a little older and understood that Gold coins were a medium of exchange in the past, and like Silver coins were produced in &quot;Fine&quot; condition. They generally were produced to an international standard of 22 Karat material to resist wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>The .9999 Gold coins aren&#039;t as desirable for a circulating product. It&#039;s a relatively new product. I just sent an assortment of Type II &quot;Uncirculated&quot; Double Eagles (produced more than a century in the past), and was impressed with their condition, knowing how they were produced and shipped. I had to &quot;chuckle&quot; at your comment about desirability. Investigate the value of a circulated Carson City Gold coin relative to virtually any condition &quot;modern&quot; coin of similar Gold content, and you may understand relative desirability.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;modern&quot; relatively pure metal composition product is produced for the eye, not for practical use.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
