Another Comic Book guy here... 1986 5 MS70 Gold Eagle

[Tim's Freedom]

I appreciate all the advice I can get.

 

I bought 2 1986 5 MS70 Gold Eagle about 5 years ago. I have looked on various websites

 

and it seems like this coin lists $1000 currently. I know this is the first Gold Eagle and

 

are wondering what I could get out of them now or if I should hold on to them.

 

Thanks in advance!

melt plus 10%

[Tim's Freedom]

Sooo, what does that compute to?

 

[michael]

if you do not need the money or have something else to buy that you can make more money on

 

then i would hold as a nice hedge as i think gold will be over 1200+ a troy ounce by the end of 2010 if not before

[Tim's Freedom]

ok, I'm not in dire need of the money. So, if gold hits 1200, how much would I be able to

 

sell these for?

 

Thanks!

while michael is correct on the bullion value...you can get about $250 a pop if you split them up and sell them individually on eBay. They would go for a hair more if they were PCGS. Bullion doesn't really commend high premiums for grade unless it is a true "key" and there are only a few throughout all types of US bullion (1995-W $1 etc...)

 

best,

I'll hold on to them. I paid more than that.

 

Thanks for your help guys.

if gold is lets say 850 and ounce then the one ounce coin is worth 935

 

i have no idea what the 2 years future price would be worth if i knew that i would be not only rich but own the earth
