Now I can tell you about the new 24 karat, .999 pure, (no hardener), Gold Eagle Coin. First of all it looks nothing like the current Gold Eagle. It looks exactly like the old Buffalo Nickels! The buffalo and head are exactly like the Buffalo Nickel, only it is one ounce of pure gold. It says on the bottom, like the Gold Eagle, $50, and under that .9999 fine gold. Under the buffalo’s beard it says “In God We Trust.” Above his back it says “E Pluribus Unum,” and at the top “United States of America.” On the obverse is the Indian Head like the nickel, above his nose it says “Liberty,” and at the lower left side the date..2006 They come wrapped in sheets of twenty, and I can take no orders for less or other than lots of twenty. Lots of 20 only. They’re priced the same as current Gold Eagles (outrageous), and will be shipped beginning June 26th. You can buy them now at current low prices and take delivery on the 26th.
Spot prices on KITCO are ALWAYS WRONG. Please use my supplier for your spot checks. It is amark.com. You can’t buy from them, but their spots are accurate, upgraded regularly, and it is those I have to work from anyway. Try buying from KITCO at their prices, and you’ll find that you can’t. Many have tried!
All the 20 cents over spot, the 100 oz Englehard bars are gone, and only new Johnson-Matheys are available at 50 cents over spot. When the 10,000 25th anniversary Maple Leafs came out, my supplier (A-Mark) bought all of them and had them professionally graded (slabbed) by NGL. There were three grades. MS (mint state) 70, MS 69, and GU, (Gem uncirculated), and only a couple hundred of the GU’s are left. It just so happens that they are within a dime of the price of a regular Maple Leaf and a hell of a nice thing to have. Each coin is encapsulated in a hard plastic case which can’t be opened, and is graded. The 25th anniversary coins are totally different from the regular Maple Leafs and for a 1 ounce coin, other than a Krugerrand, while they last are a must.. There’ll never be any more! Have a great weekend!
