Gold proofs vs bullion value by Jack Deuce
With the price of gold being as high as it is, how does this affect the price of gold commemoratives and for that matter silver commem's as well? I would think some would sell some of the commem's just for the bullion value. Are the populations of these coins being reduced? TIA

1861 2 1/2 dollar gold coin by Paul H
I have an 1861 2 1/2 dollar gold coin (a quarter-Eagle) in a ring. I know that having been in a ring diminishes it's value. But the front appears to have all of the detail that I see in an ad for an uncirculated 1861 quarter-Eagle. The back, of course, has excellent detail. I would think an...
