Request for market value

newbiecollector

I very seldom visit the US coin forum but I now come with a request.

I have a $5 gold eagle 1999, PCGS slabbed MS68. I am thinking of offering this coin for sell and would like some knowledgeable advice on current market price.

If someone has the time to advise me I would truely appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Typically most collectors are looking for MS69 material. So, I would say bullion value.

Todd....... thanks for the reply. While I have no idea what you mean by that I just know it is a PCGS certified coin and wondered at the current market prices. I do not feel I can judge ebay sells because of my low experience with ebay.

Thanks again

Todd's comment means that because it is 68, it has very little premium value over the bullion price. Gold is around $320 now so add a small percentage to that and you should have your price range. If it was a PCGS 69, then you would be looking at multiples of that number possibly.

Kris....... Thanks a lot. I truely did not understand the reply. I am not a gold collector since my budget does not allow it and I had no idea of the terms Todd had used.

Thank you (and Todd again) for your help......

Sorry for the confusion. We get used to coins terms and assume everyone understands them. Please accept my apology.

Welcome again and if there is anything I can do to help, just Email me or use the Private Message feature.

Todd..... the confusion was totally on my part. I am not a US coin collector in any large way. I have some, not great items, and wanted to possibly sell them off.

It is my problem I did not understand the terms used. Thanks to all for the answers....... much appreciated.
