Recently got this Mark Twain $5 proof for 6.09% over spot on APMEX, .2419 gold, mintage 13,273. It was about $202 cheaper than the 2024 $5 gold on US Mint. In my opinion APMEX can have higher prices but their sale items can be reasonably priced. I remember when young enjoying reading Mark Twain's novels plus watching a few movies made from them. I use NGC coins melt value chart or online scrap gold calculator to figure what I pay over melt.  Edited by livingwater

Thanks all.
Commems, I don't plan on collecting a set of $5 commemorative gold, I only have a few of them. Some of the designs/themes I don't care for.
igwt79, I have the silver version too. I like it.

Beautiful coin for a good price! I really like the Twain coins, they're some of my favorite modern commemoratives. The silver dollar is in my 7070. |
