<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 945177, member: 19065"]It's not dumb, however you are diverting from the OP and this is the 'bullion investing' forum. I say this because you are beginning to mix questions regarding numismatic values, numismatic versions of these coins and applying numismatic principals to bullion coins. When you draw coin collectors into bullion investing discussions you open a can of worms as there are often divergent perspectives and differing goals they have in mind. I don't think this is the forum for this discussion and I encourage you to do a lot more reading about bullion in general, about AGE Proofs, collector version unc. "W" mintmark coins and the plain AGE bullion versions. Take a moment to consider that your question should use the same general principles of collecting and approach to understanding values that you'd apply to any collectible coins. Plus apply some of those aspects of mine and other previous posts to this thread to answer your inquiry. Proof coins are generally sold at a significant mark up and at that are sold as collectibles, not 'investments' in which you seek 'gains' whereas people may buy bullion coins to store wealth and hedge against the loss of value of their cash if held in that form. There are literally scores of threads and multiple scores of opinions and ideas on what you are asking for me alone to give you an overview statement.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can search the coin specs for sizes online. Also take a look at a 4-coin set of AGEs and you can see the size differences between the four. Also, go visit a coin shop or show to see them in hand. Images online are only referential and there are plenty of eagles you can see online for that already.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
