The Official 20th Anniversary Gold American Eagle Price Thread™

RYK

There is some banter going on over at the BST which is (rightfully) upsetting some of the natives. Since we have not had a thread about these lately (read: in the last ten minutes), I thought this would be a good place to discuss pricing of these sets, the individual coins, the market for these, etc. Since I am now a Modern coin wannabe, I will kick off the discussion by reporting that the sets seem to be selling at the $4500 level and above on ebay and have been slowly and steadily climbing.

Feel free to add to the discussion, add reports of buys and sales, etc. if you are interested.

Kragg

I just feel fortunate to have my order accepted by the Mint! The pricing is scary, as I am tempted to sell a couple of sets to cover most of my cost. Not that I will. .....how high is high?

Bear

5,000+ by Christmas.

SportsModerator

Ummmmmmm, accepted does not mean guaranteed. Don't spend those profits until the sets are in hand

How about already. This one is $5100 with 21 hours to go

5100 already (5:23 est)

Bear that $5000 price is now happening on ebay unless there is a flood of these sets in a few days from the mint's next shipping, I don't see this price coming down. Even with the flood coming I don't see this set decreasing at all. There was a BIN for 4995.00 this morning. I was tempted, but backed off.

Bear

Then I am rich....that is......In the event the

Mint sends me my one, freaking, gold set.

StrikeOutXXX

You know what is going to happen next don't you?

The unsavory who sold in the last 10 or so days for $3500 on "Pre-Sale" auction are going to start stating they never got theirs from the mint and cancel the transaction because they know they can now list them for $5500.

pharmer

If God had not intended the Mint to make us all money, She would not have limited the mintages.

Bear

Thats a for sure, certain, developement.

Boy, is there gonna be a lot of howling going on.

StrikeOutXXX

There is one on Yahoo Auctions with a BIN of $4,999. Seems like a steal, as I'm guessing they'll be 6-7k by next week as soon as those thinking they got some realize they didn't (This isn't my auction)

Yahoo search for 2006 American Eagle Anniversary Gold

Dabigkahuna

Try $6000 now for that one on Yahoo now!

jamakin

When they start going for 6k I'll definitly offer one of mine up.

aficionado

Just think if the Mint didn't offer the UNC "W" as a single.

I still think the Unc "W" will be a very low mintage compared to other GAE Unc mintages, but a 30,000 mintage would have been sweet.

TWQG

I hear the FRESH ones command a premium.

5,000+ by Christmas.

Looks like you were right. Look what this one closed at.

We need a KTAGAEPC (Kitco 20th anniversary gold american eagle price chart)

RYK

<< <i>We need a KTAGAEPC (Kitco 20th anniversary gold american eagle price chart) >>



Yes, we do.

And, yes, there are now a couple public $5000 transactions.

Here's an interesting side note. It appears that all of the PCGS-graded reverse proof GAEs offered on ebay are Proof-70's. As singles, these are selling for $5600-5800.

RedTiger

Is there a noticeable difference in price between the sealed shipping boxes vs. sets that have been inspected? Meaning are those buying wanting to send them in for grading and possible resale, or do they want the actual coins?

What would be the best way to ship if someone wanted to sell a sealed box? Registered will miss the deadline for PCGS designation. Insurance on Express mail would be about $55 on $5000 in value. More than that would not be covered.

I want to thank this board, because I would never had ordered a set in time if I had not read about it here.

Bochiman

My understanding is that, if in the sealed box from the mint, ie....the fedex box, then one wouldn't miss the designation for the set (gotta be sealed though).

itsnotjustme

Prices definitely trended up. Bulk of the e-bay sales are now between $4,500 and $5,100 with a few outliars. BST WTB threads are also pushing up. I think the latest range is $4,000 to $4,200.

Kaelasdad

You have lots of time to send in a sealed set. No way its going to take 3 weeks to ship to PCGS. As someone who opened his box before sending to PCGS, the only coins i have unsold are the ones PCGS would not label as FS/20th Anv, the Regular Proofs. Everything else, including the empty boxes, sold--fast.

I would send it in sealed, you can always crack them out later if you want to.

Bump to find easier and keep the threads somewhat combined.

Other reports of mid- 5k already...

CaptHenway

I want to see how the Greysheet is going to start listing these. They need a "regular" category, a "20th Anniversary" category" and a "First strike 20th anniversary" category. They may have to add another four pages.

Does anyone have price information for the reverse proof gold eagle (actual transactions) for the following "conditions": raw, NGC-69, NGC-70, PCGS-69, PCGS-70?

Just the PF70 Reverse Proof coin is selling more than the raw 3-coin set.

Right now there are active items of PF70 for just the reverse proof over 6,000

ebay search reverse proof sorted high to low


A little history of completed transactions for last few days. The 5900's are yesterday/today, and the 4k ones were Sept 27-30 mostly.
NGC PF70: $5,982, $5,232, $5,432, $4,982, $4500, $4482
PCGS PF70: $5,900, $5900, $5595, $5395, $5295,

$5500 for opened not sealed set!

segoja

If you oredered multiple sets, are the individual sets sealed inside a larger box???

I'm shocked as to how the mint prioritizes shipment. I purchased in the first 30 minutes 10 sets, and they still hsow delivery of 10/6. Maybe it's LIFO...I think that's it!!!

The sets are not inside smaller boxes inside the shipping box. You open the shipping box, you have opened them all.

So what will the price go to if this reverse proof turns out to be the first, last, and only one produced by the mint? A lot of people that don't own one are complaining about the looks so maybe if they complain enough the mint won't make any more - what would the price be in a couple of years from now?

Yep.

Bear

You would think that with a 10/6/06 shipping date,

something would change already on my tracking

information. Like set reserved, instead of processing order.

53BKid

Hey Bear--

It looks like you and I are in the same boat and it appears to be sinking.

Bear

It doesn't look good. I suppose I could call

my credit card company and see if the money has

been charged, but I am afraid I will be disappointed.

If nothing changes in the wording by tomorrow, then I am

a dead duck. My order was in on the 30th at 4:30 PM but it seems

even that might be too late.

Happened to flip by Coin Vault last night,,, Proof 70 3 coin set for $10,995.00

Yeah and you guys are worried about TPGs,100 point grading,coin doctors,auction houses,and devious dealers ruining the hobby.No worries as bullion is at incredible premiums.

I have moved to "In stock and reserved" status (from "backordered") today. I expect my set to ship in the next 24 hours.
