gold is about $630 today and this is 1.85 total oz of gold. 630x1.85 is 1165.50. is the $329.50 premium over bullion price too much to pay?

How do these proof sets historically fare in terms of premium over bullion?

Hey, Anty Ep:

The price holds up pretty well. Do a quick sold search on eBay. That is a good way to tell what the market is willing to pay.

Also, those Eagles are proof condition so there are fewer of them minted, and for those 2 reasons garner a higher premium. I accept them as gifts, but I do not buy them. I would rather buy a pre '33 gold coin instead as their historic value is easily tracked and researchable. That and the designs are better than what the mint produces today.

I must think so. I bought a set in Mar/05 for $1270, which would have been a huge premium over spot.

What is the premium over spot for the 1 ounce gold proof eagles?

Re: 4 coin GAE proof set, 2006- evaluate
 

Hey, Anty Ep:

I should say these are good coins. I am biased in that I prefer pre' 33 gold coins, but these bullion coins are good, and have held their value over time, and have become collectible.

Excuse my bias.

Last time I checked, the proof eagles were going for $800 for a premium of $200 +/- $30 depending where spot was on any given day. That's about what you would pay for a 1 oz gold Lunar horse or a gold Panda or even a Isle of Manx Cat.
