Message:: [QUOTE="Duane Waller, post: 1791974, member: 57243"]Thank you Mike,Yes, I found them there listed at: $1,447.72 And I also found them at APMEX for $1,577.69And also at USMoneyReserve for $1,372 Tonight I found a 10 year chart for the closing prices of Gold Eagle coins at <a href="http://www.monex.com/prods/gold_eagle_chart.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.monex.com/prods/gold_eagle_chart.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.monex.com/prods/gold_eagle_chart.html</a> What burns me is, I have a friend who purchased these coins from the aforementioned dealer in December 2009 and the dealer charged $2525 per coin. A few days later, the buyer took possession of them and had them valued, and the  agent valued them at $1300 per coin.   With the quantity purchased it was a loss of $20,000.The buyer called the dealer and the sales person said "don't worry about it, the gold market is just fluctuating".  My friend obviously did not do due diligence and compare prices with other sellers to discover that the *REAL* value of the coin was $1300 at that time.The dealer inflated the price per coin by something like 90%. Unfortunately, no way to recover that loss now unless the *REAL* prices of Gold Eagles goes above $2500 some day.  And I think that will take another stock market crash before that happens.[/QUOTE]
