I think I will hold off. I had the coin check today to make sure it is real and they said it is great condition and a collector would pay around 2k for it. The pawn shop said they would hand me 1200 so I think a 1bitcoin is just a little low. Thanks for the offers.
I work at such a "pawn shop". There's no such thing as a collectable Gold Eagle. They've only been making them since 1986. And condition is expected to be perfect. Nice try though.I have nothing to prove to you. If they didn't say that I would still be selling the coin. Take it however you like.
Don't believe the pawn shop at $2000. If this is a $50 American Gold eagle then 1200_1250 is the value - period. If its an older $20 gold, then it has potential above its gold value.
Well they said they will pay me 1200 for it then said people will pay 2k for them in that condition. The only reason I take his word is he said he will give me 1200, they wouldn't pay me 1200 if they could only sell it for that. Either way I'm not a coin collector and it makes no difference if its a 500-1200-2000 coin I decided to not sell at this time.
I understand what you're saying - I was simply stating that these can be bought anywhere for 1250-1300 right now so individual sellers should expect spot or spot+ a small amount. At $2000 they were either blowing smoke or your coins is different/special in some way. From the darkish photo it looks like every other Eagle in the world.
Best regards.
That is an accurate range. If people at the pawn shop told you that they must not have been very knowledgeable. My guess is [somehow] they confused it with a St. Gauden's-which has nearly an ounce of gold in it and could potentially have addittional numismatic value.
*EDIT: can't tell from the picture-you may actually have a St. Gaudens. Whats the year? And is there a single bird on the back/words around the perimeter of the coin? If so, you have a St. Gaudens.
