Ok, I’m a newbee here with a question. I’m looking at buying a 2013 American Eagle One Ounce Gold Proof Coin (GA1). The price listed at the US Mint is $1810, will this price stay the same or will it move up and down as the gold spot price changes?

TIA

I read an article talking about the paper market in precious metals and the physical market. The paper market had some contracts coming due and needed to get the price down which is what happened. However, the physical market is very healthy. Why do they let gamblers set the spot price? They don’t care about the metal, just the price.

I was thrilled to get a message from a friend about the silver price crash. I checked it for myself on the market updates on Merit Gold and it was unbelievable to see such a sharp decline in precious metal markets. Some mark this time as the best time to stack the white metal.

The 5 oz Chaco is unavailable due to repricing as well as silver American Eagles. So, it looks like the price of those will go down as well. They
kind of screw the people that buy early.

My error, I meant to say $1,710.00 price, Not $1,750.00

I wasn’t aware, But I called the mint and they told me it goes according to a 2 week average. Since gold really dropped heavy last Friday and Monday, It wouldn’t “count” to the $1,750.00 price. Like they say, “fight city hall”…lol

Tomorrow the a.g.e.’s coming out at $1;810.00?
The price should be $1,710.00 for the proof according to the “price grid”
If gold is between $1,350.00- $1399.99, price should be $1,710.00.
I think i’ll pass. unreal.

@ M. Unser

Thanks! I was looking forward to the price reduction. For those who placed their order(s) (following the price reduction(s)), I wonder if they caught this error? It may only be $12, but that’s a lot of money to simply give away.

A&L Futures,

I’ve contacted the U.S. Mint about the pricing for the gold commemoratives. For those, it appears they inadvertently applied pricing that was one tier lower instead of two. The other coins, including the prices for the upcoming proof Gold Eagles, are correct.

Update: Coin prices are updated on the Mint’s side now.
