I recenctly traded a 1999 1/10 oz Gold $5 dollar coin for the 1997 Commemorative Jackie Robinson $5 Dollar gold coin and was trying to see if that was a good decision, or a flop. Ive got mixed reviews on the Jackie Robinson, but reviews on the PCGS states its the most valuable of the commemorative coins. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

    Did the 1/10th oz Gold Eagle have a "W" mintmark? Did the coin have proof surfaces? In 1999, the Mint mistakenly released some "unfinished proof" Gold Eagles which now have a nice collectors premium.

    Was the Jackie Robinson an Unc or a Proof? Prices have come down on these coins.

    Since the prices on each of these coins continues to change, your best indicator of values would be recent sale prices on ebay, or recent auction prices on Great Collections or Heritage.
