The latest Gold Eagle sell-off was more of a Gold Eagle trade than anything, because the coins that were liquidated back onto the market were scooped up just as quickly. As a matter of fact, a volume sell-off of the American Eagle gold Proof coins by one large institution resulted in the immediate purchasing of these coins by many other individuals, and the fact that these individuals went after the Proof coins so rapidly boosted prices almost $100 per ounce recently.

The Gold Eagle sell-off that is most concerning to most experts in the market is the widespread liquidation of regular Gold Eagle coins dated 1986 or later. What’s terrifying isn’t that individuals are selling their gold, because that usually indicates that things are getting back to normal in our economy, but the fact that so many investors are choosing to liquidate their Gold Eagle coins and other bullion coins and bars.

Some of these investors are sticking with cash out of fear of investing during these unstable times, while others are buying into real estate and certain stocks in hopes that current levels really are the “valleys.” However, other investors aren’t simply selling their Gold Eagles, they are trading them in for other American gold coins which could perform better than the Eagles over the next few years. Coins like the $20 Double Eagles and the $10 Indian Eagles are projected to outpace gold bullion growth over the next five years by a 2.76:1 margin, and most experts agree that these Eagles are likely to remain private property in the event of another gold confiscation and freezing of gold trading by the US government.
