<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tsk, post: 155319, member: 5858&quot;]Well, I&#039;m a little confused here.&nbsp; I think you may be arguing over what I consider a &quot;small premium&quot; over spot.&nbsp; I am just trying to say that there are a variety of the gold eagles that you can buy and the only real consideration a seller has is the spot price of gold.&nbsp; He then ads some fixed amount to that.&nbsp; That amount tends to be a higher percentage for the smaller gold coins and a smaller one for the one ounce coins.&nbsp; There are a variety of places you can go and if you don&#039;t care particularly about the year, you can go buy 1 ounce gold eagles for maybe $25 over the spot of gold which is currently about a 4% premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, since you mention the 1999, I just went to eBay and searched completed auctions for the 1 ounce and I see the following prices on the first 3 auctions I came across (last 2 include shipping):&nbsp; 640+S&amp;H, 658 and 668.&nbsp; I can almost guarantee you that the primary factor in the bidders mind was the price of gold on the day the auction ended.&nbsp; If gold was $50 less, I bet those prices would be about $50 less.&nbsp; I assume you could repeat the results with the 1998 coins also (and I&#039;m too lazy to try it right now).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I&#039;m in no way claiming that the gold set will be selling at some fixed premium to gold spot (that was Tracy&#039;s claim).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
