BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/28/2016 9:50 pm This date trades as a bullion coin (primarily metal value) up to MS62 these days. Since your coin has little chance of exceeding that grade I wouldn't be too concerned about AU58 vs MS60. It looks completely genuine and contains nearly one troy ounce of gold, that's where the monetary value is and you have a nice big hunk of gold there. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

dubeagle New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 07/29/2016 04:26 am Thanks for all the info guys. So basically double eagles are not a real gem and very valuable intrinsically unless it is graded 61 and higher? Is this correct. I did have a local coin dealer offer me $1350 for it today. I told him I would let him know tomorrow because I got this for a great deal I'm tempted to take it as I would make a quick 200 on it. But the real question is what would be the next coin to start shopping for. I really want to start buying and selling classic gold coins for a turn around profit. Any Suggestions?

Is this correct. Not correct. This varies greatly by date/mm. Yours is a common date so it really needs to grade MS to be worth a significant premium over melt value. Your coin melts at $1290 today so $1350 is a fair offer. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
