oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 03/23/2009 4:34 pm I was looking at my Jefferson "Draped Bust Liberty" proof, and something occured to me; "why is that the half-ounce First Spouse only has a denomination value of $10 dollars, versus the St Gaudens type bullion (1986 - date) half-ounce, has a denomination of $25"? success, Edited by oih82w8 04/29/2009 2:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 03/23/2009 5:09 pm Interesting. The quarter-ounce AGE coins are $10 face. Something fishy here!

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 03/23/2009 5:24 pm oh yeah! I wonder why... $10 is for 1/4oz AGEs... I think it's just the legislation... unless we uncovered a conspiracy... (Maybe Someday the gold recall will be done as denomination, so for the new ones we'll only get $10! ) Report this Post to the Staff
Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 03/23/2009 10:20 pm That's interesting, considering a 1 ounce Buffalo is also 24k but has a denomination of $50.00. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/24/2009 11:50 am I think wd1040 hit it- probably just the wording of the legislation and someone forgot to follow precedent The actual percentage of gold should have no bearing since the Gold Eagles(22kt) and the Buffalos(24kt) had the same denominations for the fractional issues.
