[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3367412, member: 112"]Rule of thumb - common date $20 gold slabbed and graded as high as MS63 typically sells for about spot plus 10%. The reason that matters is because you can buy an XF coin and it's gonna be the same price. So keep that in mind. As you go down in denomination for common dates the premiums above spot increase percentage wise with each denomination drop. To a degree, the $10 coins are similar to the $20 regarding XF to 63 being roughly the same price, but as I said it's a higher percentage. The $5 and $2.50 coins though, on those there will be a marked difference in price between the circ grades and and the MS grades. That's because these smaller denominations actually did circulate fairly well where as the $20s did not. So MS examples of the small denominations are much harder to come by - and thus more expensive. Now with better date coins all this flies out the window and grade becomes everything when it comes to price - just like it does with most other coins. But common date $20 gold, it's basically been spot plus 10% for decades. They pretty much are and always have been treated as nothing more than bullion in grades up to and including 63. If you're gonna collect US gold understanding all of this is pretty important or it's all to easy to over-pay.[/QUOTE]
