Frequently asked questions
What premium does a American Gold Eagle (1/10 oz) usually carry?
Historically a American Gold Eagle (1/10 oz) tends to trade about 8–16% over its melt value at retail, though premiums spike when demand is high and compress when it's quiet. Treat the range here as a guide, not a quote.
Is the melt value what I'll pay or get for a American Gold Eagle (1/10 oz)?
No. Melt value is the intrinsic worth of the metal — live spot price times the coin's pure content. A dealer sells above melt (their premium) and buys slightly below it (their spread). The melt figure here is the honest baseline; actual retail and buy-back prices move with demand.
