American Gold Eagle Type Set

One thing I have noticed is that Gold Eagle and Gold Coin pricing is generally spot plus a small premium

Unlike Silver Eagles where you can pay exorbitant premiums over spot based on their numismatic value

You will never find a 1995 W for 10% over spot or for even 100% over spot

But it seems I can always find the Gold Coins and AGEs I want for 5-10% more than spot

I attribute this to a far smaller collector base,

I'm not sure if I'm right but it seems there are more people willing to pay $3000 for 1995 W Silver Eagle then those able to pay $25k for the 2020 v75 Gold Eagle

I received my 2006 set that I bought from APMEX this morning

With the discounts and $613 cash back I ended up paying a little over $14700

I was on a notification list for the set and I bought it within 5 minutes of receiving the notice

Apparently it was the only set they had at the time

I was kind of worried because it shipped from "The Return Center" but once I saw that the OGP hadn't even been opened I felt better

I still took them to the local shop to confirm that they're authentic,

Here's some pics of the set transferred to the 20th Anniversary Silver Set OGP which is what I intend to use for my Gold Coins and Eagle Type Set

I'll post some better pics of the coins later

Looking good!

Sorry, this was with just my 2 coin silver and gold set, not my gold set

Moderator, note the site turned this sideways, again

My phone. I just take pictures with my phone, so easier to transfer to the site that way.
When I had to reduce the image size, it was also easier to access the app I used with the phone.

I didn't edit that particular picture. I know it's larger than allowed. You know better than me that something changed and we can now upload larger images, so I just tried uploading without decreasing the file size to under 300kb.
So just now I downsized the image to under 300kb. Let's try it:

NOTE TO MODERATOR
I did nothing to the post where I first showed that picture, yet it's orientation is now correct

You used the same file name, so it overwrote what you uploaded earlier. That is why we strongly suggest using unique and informative names. It helps you to search so your uploads can use it again. You can rename them in the fly...

There is a chance the smaller file size—which causes the forum to skip the automatic optimization process—does help.

The automatic optimization process was fixed to read the meta data, so if it is there it should use it and therefore I do not think you need to reduce the size. You just need to make sure your editor saves the orientation data in the image file. Camera apps apparently do not.

But if whatever app you are using to edit the photo is going to reduce the size anyway, so be it.

For what it is worth, every single photo I imported from my old point-and-shoot camera to Google Photos shows as landscape, even though a good number of them were taken portrait. The raw image file from the Kodak has no meta data. Just a raw and huge JPEG file. I had to re-orient them in Google photos.
