<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 26239897, member: 22377&quot;]In today&#039;s market, 5% under melt is about the going rate for any common date double eagle graded MS 63 or lower. The fact that it is graded helps for authenticity but does not change the price much (if any) when selling to a dealer (to get a little extra, you would need to sell to another collector, which has its own challenges).</p><p><br /></p><p>An auction is a bad idea for common gold since you will net less in most cases. People know the melt value and the buyer&#039;s fee so often they will bid accordingly. Even if the final all-in price is well over melt, say $3,600 (melt is about 3,337 as of this post), but the auction has a 20% buyer&#039;s fee (like Heritage), the net to the seller will be $3,000 ($3,000*1.2 = $3,600). Selling to the dealer for 5% back of melt would net $3,170 ($3,337*.95), which is a much better outcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
