I started a type collection of 1 ounce Gold Eagles and some gold coins such as the 2016 Centennial Set
I just picked up the 2006 set from
APMEX and I would like to add the 2026 Enhanced Uncirculated Eagle to my collection
BUT I really don't want to pay the US Mints price which will probably be close to $1k over spot
APMEX has the 2026 Proofs starting at $7400 which is crazy, considering that you can still buy them from the US Mint for $5600
However the 2025 proofs are just about $200 over spot
Is the price reduction normal for Proofs or are we in an uncharted territory here because of the dual date significance of the 2026 Eagles?
I'm patient and would not mind waiting a year or two to get the 2026 but I also have concerns that it may go the route of the 2020 v75
Any advice on this would be appreciated
