So I've been having some customers argue with me lately about the value difference between 1997 and 1998 $25 Gold American Eagles.

Their argument is that the mintage is vastly different so the value is different.

I maintain that because they are bullion their value is nearly the same.

I am sure that in varying cases both arguments can be correct. But in my experience and in all of my selling I've never seen a significant difference in price aside from current gold prices.

Just curious if anyone has an opinion on this. It is kind of driving me bananas

I would ask them how big a premium they will pay for the lower mintage? Seriously though, assuming both pieces are BU then the values should be the same (gold value + standard premium).

Mintages are very different, but demand for both is about the same and demand drives value not mintage. If the supply of the lower mintage has no problem satisfying demand for it, then value will be no higher than that of the higher mintage pieces
