NumisMattic2200 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Been ogling a gold coin lately and have it down in my price guide as worth about $60 in BUNC condition, but this is just crazy! Let me know if this is right or just a crazy ebay concept - it's over $100 already? Is the price right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 The price at $C is not out of line given the melt value right now. That coin has just over a 10th of an oz of gold in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Back in 2001/2002/2003 these used to sell for $50-$60 a pop, nowadays they easily bring $100. I used to buy them in a set with the double ducat and sell the ducat for $55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold has shot up. Most coins have little added collectors value beyond the gold price. People would rather pay $100 for a rare piece of copper inherently worth 2 cents than $200 for a not-rare piece of gold worth $100. Gold was $250 in 1999, it's now over $900. So at 0.11 ounce AGW, that coin should not sell below $100 even if there are vast numbers of the coins in existence and it has no collector scarcity. Unfortunately for buyers, acquiring a collection of gold coins is far more expensive than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I can't think of a nicer gold coin to buy for $100 than a Netherlands trade ducat in mint state condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
