regularguy Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 12/21/2014 1:55 pm In the real world, when it comes to selling or buying $20 Liberty or St.Gaudens, is there much of a price difference between the higher grades for the more common date coins? Thanks for any info. Report this Post to the Staff

Copper Penny Connection Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 12/21/2014 2:09 pm Each coin can vary so much depending on the dates. What I have found with COMMON DATE gold coins, is that G-AU even MS60ish usually are book valued at the same price. maybe a small increase in 60-64ish. then from 64ish to 65 and up the values really start to climb.......REALIZED PRICING is pretty much the same. except you can expect to get a little more for lets say a XF45 common date then a F15. although usually not much more.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/21/2014 2:46 pm Is the same true for older, smaller gold coins? I'm finding plenty of XF's for sale but no BU/AU's. (I will admit that I am not searching for them often. But I hope to be doing so in the future.) Report this Post to the Staff
regularguy Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 12/21/2014 3:08 pm Thanks for the information. I was thinking that is the case with $20 gold coins. What I have been considering is to sell a couple of them to help fund another issue. As always I would like to get the best price per grade as possible. Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1748 Posts	Posted 12/21/2014 4:37 pm In MS-62, the price runs about $200-$300 over the spot gold content of the double eagle for common date/mintmark ones. For AU coins the spread is a bit less than the lower MS grades. MS-64 and beyond is where the gaps begin to widen greatly. Of course this pricing is all up to the market. For example, a MS-65 1928-P Saint runs about $1900 right now, so that's about $700 over gold value. 1928-P is a VERY common date, along with 1924-P. If you are interested in higher end mint state double eagles, I recommend comparing prices with many different dealers. Keep in mind as well that you will then be crossing over into the numismatic realm of the coins and patina and appearance starts to matter greatly as well.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/21/2014 5:06 pm The smaller, older gold commands considerable premium over melt due to its' relative scarcity. It also gets considerably more collector pressure. The later, larger and plentiful pieces are inaccessible to most collectors as they're only worth "collecting" in high grade at monumental prices.
