Where can I find the fractional W list of Gold American Eagles.?
Looked through CoinFacts and don't see the final mintages
I'm wondering if the 2008-W $5 gold Eagle had a low mintage?
I think I found one site that states a mintage of 12,657 . Is this worth a premium?
Thanks

AGE mintages
Exit bunker, enter Matrix. LOL
<< <i>12,657. Not the lowest of all AGEs but lowest of all $5 AGEs. Yes, draws a nice premium.
AGE mintages >>
Thanks, being graded a MS70 in a PCGS holder would also bring a premium?
Hell I will come right out and ask.........how much is that little ol' thing worth?
Thanks for the help

<< <i>check ebay completed auctions to see what others are paying. I'd do it for you but you need to do some of the work. >>
Yes, I did as well as Heritage, no sold prices, only BIN's on Ebay and nothing sold. They were asking around the $450 mark .
Thanks. I will try and figure it out.

In MS-69, $265-$300.
In PCGS MS-70, $410-$450.
Based on ebay results, not considering fees.
I knew it would happen.

I follow nearly every single example of this coin on eBay and have purchased two in the last five or so months. Up to a month or two ago I would have agreed with the prices above. However in the last month I have seen three raw examples close for between $227 to $255, so prices have definitely come down a bit. On some level that's not too much of a surprise as serious modern collectors spent a fortune soaking up 25th anni sets, but I was shocked when I saw the one close for $227ish a few weeks ago. At these temporarily(?) depressed prices I'm a buyer again at any price of $250 or lower for raw or MS69.
I can remember passing up one at the FUN show nearly a year ago for $215 (PCGS ms69). Gold was $1600ish at the time and I remember telling myself $205 was my max. The dealer came down to $215 so I foolishly walked. I won't make that mistake again at the next show that's for sure. Hopefully I'll be able to sell or trade a box or two of my 25th ase sets and trade or buy multiple 2008-W $10s and the '99W's (hopefully both the $5 and $10). That way I won't feel guilty for chasing a modern coin that has already started to run .
I knew it would happen.
What can I say........I love toning!

<< <i>Thanks everyone for your input.......it look like I have acquired this one tonight What can I say........I love toning! >>
I wonder how that coin was stored? That's a ton of toning on a gold coin that is only 4 years old. As an aside I thought I would bump this post with the last two coins that sold on my watchlist over the last couple of days:
$376 -- NGC MS70 with OGP (11/20/11)
$311 -- raw in OGP (11/16/11)
Looks like the dip of a few weeks ago is over

Yes, I had to pay slightly above, I think there was another that wanted it for the toning as well.
I picked this one up a few months ago.....standard $5 gold but its only slightly toned, no where near the 2008-W
But....only paid spot price though...lol

<< <i>If that's a PCGS holder, I believe your toning is due to the holder. I see a lot of gold eagles tone in PCGS and ICG holders but not in other holders. I suspect the paper label is not sealed from the coin and is "gassing" the coin. Common issue with AGEs in those two holders. Often times it will turn the coin a brass color. For this reason I collect AGEs specifically in NGC holders. However, I find the change in color on your particular coin very appealing, unlike others I have seen turn in PCGS holders. >>
Yes, it is in a PCGS holder, both of the fractional's and the one I posted below.
I thought the toning was due to the alloy mixing and not so much the environment...........but I may be mis informed?

toning of a coins surface is a result of enviornmental affect on the surface whether naturally occuring or artificially induced.
