<p>[QUOTE="RickieB, post: 75213, member: 2486"]Hello.. The US American Gold Eagle is gold coin period. It is not a circulated coin and therefore considered bullion. If you look close at the mintages of the Proof and Uncirculated you will see that many dealers look at the mintage of the coins and factor in the numismatic potential based upon the available coins. As an example try finding a 1991 1/2 Oz AGE uncirculated at bullion prices..NO Way! With just 24,100 coins produced you will be lucky to find one at $ 925.00. Each year the proofs are made by the mint and limited to a production number. Prices will vary with both types of coins. The good news is that they will always hold the bullion price due to the gold!</p><p>The 1999 1/10th and 1/4oz uncirculated coins were made in error with proof dies and only a small number of them exist..these are rather expensive but stand out as a modern day gold error and may appreciate in the future.</p><p>Go to the thread "The Eyes of Texas are Upon You:" to see my collection of AGE both proof and Unic, Raw and Slabbed...</p><p><br /></p><p>Good hunting!!</p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Go to the thread "The Eyes of Texas are Upon You:" to see my collection of AGE both proof and Unic, Raw and Slabbed... Good hunting!! RickieB :D[/QUOTE]
