I just received one - and I have no idea of it's value. I'm a football card fanatic, and have a few older gold coins (US and foreign) but am not current on pricing. The coin I have is in a presentation case, and is uncirculated in a blue mini folder which is numbered AHS2912.
Any help would be appreciated.

GAEs are .9167 fine (22 kt).

True, but Michael is refering to how much gold there is if refined, not the quality of gold in the coin itself. It weighs more than 1/10th oz to make up for the .9167 fineness.

If that's the case, then technically the gold itself is 1.0000 fine.

"NET .9999 Fine" really has no meaning in any context.
all i said in my first post to this thread was that the coin melted at 43 dollars if gold was 430 an ounce as it has a net gold content of 1/10 of an ounce pure gold LOL
i posted before you and i never in all my posts on here ever implied i was smarter than you or that any post count? means lanlord or myself are smarter than you LOL
if it makes you feel any better
you ARE SMARTER THAN ME!!
and that i was wrong ...............the 1/10 american gold eagle coin does NOT have 1/10 troy ounce of net pure gold in it as i stated
why so angry today??
i said
""with a net pure .9999 fine 1/10 troy ounce of gold in it""
that means the coin even though it weighs more than 1/10 of a troy ounce as it is 90% gold and 10% copper alloy hence 21.666k but the fact still remains that in the coin there is a net amount of gold that is 1/10 troy ounce of pure .9999 fine 24k pure gold
you made a big ado about nothing and did not understand what you read and then you got angry and attacked and said we are doing some sort of post count thing and lanlord and i are smarter then you and we can kiss your ass?? LOL thanks for the offer but no thanks
man you got to stop getting all worked up over nothing
but i will say also that i was wrong and that i do not feel i am smarter than you and that i was incorrect in my statement that the 1/10 ounce american gold eagle has a net pure 1/10 ounce of pure gold in it as that if the price of gold was 430 an ounce this coin would melt at 43 dollars in gold
i apologise to you if you thought something different but i know lanlord and also myself and we did NOT mean to say are upping some post? count or that we are any smarter than you
<< <i>oh and please reread my original post i NEVER said that the gold american 1/10 eagle gold coin was .9999 fine
i said
""with a net pure .9999 fine 1/10 troy ounce of gold in it"" >>
Yes, I know. And I'm trying to tell you that that statement has no meaning, and is potentially misleading LOL
Get it LOL?
Probably not LOL...
