August 14, 2009 – Learning how to track and evaluate gold Eagle pricing is a very important strategy that every investor in this market should understand in order to maximize short-term and long-term investing potential. It’s quite surprising that so many investors own American Eagle and $20 Saint Gaudens coins, yet they do not know how to carefully keep track of their diversification in order to determine how well they are doing. This being said, below I have briefly explained a few strategies that could make tracking gold Eagle pricing a lot easier depending on the type of coin:
Bullion Coins - Bullion coins are priced depending on the spot price of gold, so basically all you have to do is find the spot price and add about 5% on top of it in order to determine the approximate value of your American Eagles. Some of the most reputable websites that you can use for tracking the spot price are www.GoldPrice.net and www.Kitco.com.
Certified Rare Coins - Certified rare coins are priced depending on the spot price of gold, along with the condition and rarity of the coins. Leading rare coin certification companies like the Professional Coin Grading Service and the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation assign a Mint State Grading to all their coins in order for investors and collectors to determine condition. If you would like to track the retail prices of the most popular certified rare coins, try visiting www.pcgs.com and www.ngccoin.com.
