I can't give you any information about coin dealers in the UK, but if you can be on the internet doing this, you can certainly be on the internet looking for coin dealers in your area.

As for value, this is a St Gaudens double eagle, considered by many collectors to be one of the most beautiful coins ever made. Because of this, they are very sought after, and they always command a premium over the price of the gold alone, unless they have been handled a lot and show considerable wear. Most were not, because, even in the roaring 1920s, was a good chunk of money and these coins didn't see much circulation.

The amount of premium depends upon the grade, with each step up in grade increasing the price. You may want to consider submitting it to one of the US based graders, either PCGS or SGC. This will cost you some money, but it's very safe if you do it through a reputable dealer. The difference between a coin that is Mint State 65 in a dealer's opinion and one that's MS65 in the opinion of the grading company can be as much as 0, which pays for the grading with a nice bit left over for you.

The minimum these coins are bringing in very nice shape, ungraded, on eBay, is roughly 875 British pounds (a bit over 00 US), while the market price for gold is right around 800 pounds (00), give or take a few. The average seems to be about 00 US or 930 pounds. A dealer won't pay you that much. But stay away from any dealer who insists on paying less than gold market price. I wouldn't take any less than 850 pounds. Don't forget that on an eBay sale, you're going to pay close to 10% in total sale and payment processing fees by the time you're done, so to net 850 pounds you'd have to get a sale of 940 or so.

Question by Middy: I think Hitler was a good leader,do you?
I don’t believe that what Hitler did was right, that isn’t it at all, I think Hitler was a good leader because he got

millions to follow him and think as he did. I have no reason to believe that Hitler was a

good man, Hitler had a choice and he chose a very evil path, but he did a thing most

people would consider impossible. He got people to believe the same thing millions of

people to be together on one subject. If someone had ever said that nothing that man did

was worth being copied they would be wrong, Hitler was probably the best person ever to l
lead a country he just had very wrong notions.

Hitler was not actually elected to be the leader of Germany, the majority was

against it in the first election, nor was he elected in the second. On January 30th 1933,

President Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler chancellor of Germany. On February 27,a

communist terrorist named Marinus van der Lubbe was believed to have set fire to the

Reichstag. Hitler knew that people were more apt to surrender their liberties during a

crisis in order to have security, and that is exactly what happened. The day after the fire

Hitler persuaded Hindenburg to issue the decree:

Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications; and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.

Two weeks after the Reichstag fire, Hitler asked the Reichstag to temporarily delegate its

powers to him so that he could deal with the crisis. Denouncing opponents to his request,

Hitler shouted, “Germany will be free, but not through you!” When the vote was taken,

the result was 441 for and 84 against, giving Hitler the two-thirds majority he needed to

suspend the German constitution. On March 23, 1933, what has gone down in German

history as the “Enabling Act” made Hitler dictator of Germany, freed of all legislative and

constitutional constraints.

I believe Hitler came to power in a deceitful way, but I also believe that

everything he did he believed in wholeheartedly. Unlike most leaders he did what he

thought was just and good for his country regardless of the opinions of others. Hitler kept

others fighting some, probably out of fear but I believe that people really did believe

exactly as he did. There was an assignation attempt in July of 1944 Hitler escaped with

only minor injuries, most of the plotters were executed. In early 1945 the war was already

pretty much lost. Hitler insisted that the Germans fight on till the death. During the final

German collapse in April, 1945, Hitler denounced Nazi leaders who wanted to negotiate,

and stayed in Berlin when it was stormed by the Russians. On April 29 1945 Hitler

married Eva Braun, and on April 30 they committed Suicide together in the bunker

underneath the chancellery building, after ordering their bodies burned. Even after the

evil things Hitler did, I still believe he was a very great leader.

Question by .: French Rooster 20 Gold Coin 1904?
A magnificent Golden French Rooster (Coq d’Or), surrounded by the motto of the French Revolution, Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité (Liberty, Equality, Brotherhood) adorns the reverse of this historic coin. Made in 1904 (.1867 troy ounce).

I have a coin just like the description how much is the value?

Best answer:

Answer by Computer Guy
If (and it's a big if) the coin is really gold, 0.1867 troy ounce x 07.90/ troy ounce = 6.84

There are coins that fit the description that are not gold. I found one selling for .99.

Also be careful. There are a lot of counterfeit gold coins out there to take advantage of high gold prices.

Question by tigerhuy: Why does a 1 oz silver American eagle coin appear larger than a 1 oz gold American eagle?
Is the gold a more dense metal? Or is is simply an optical illusion and the thickness is actually greater on the gold coin?

Best answer:

Answer by Ben P
Yes, gold weighs more than silver. 1 oz. of silver would be bigger.

Question by Hellion: Value and rarity of 1926 St. Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin?
My wife's grandfather gave us a golden coin as a wedding gift a couple of years back. The wedding was in Poland and the story is that the grandfather bought the coin years ago under communism through the black market as an investment. I know nothing about coins but through a little research on the web, think I may have something of significant value. From what I can tell, it is a 1926 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle. Please excuse my ignorance but I will try my best to describe it. It is a very shiney golden and heavy. It has no blemishes or tarnishes that I can see. If you were to look at it with a very scrupulous eye, I guess it has some minor scratches on the flat surfaces but I don't know if they would be considered scratches or not, but its definitely in great to exceptional condition. I'm just wondering the rarity and value of this coin. I wouldn't consider selling it, and would love to have a family heirloom on my hands. Additionally, how should I store it? I just have it wrapped in a paper towel right now, inside a jewellery box. Any information would be appreciated.

As an additional aside, it was very entertaining to bring it back from Poland. I left Poland immediately after the wedding, as my wife stayed an additional 2 weeks. I kept the coin in my wallet, and really set the metal detector off in the Warsaw airport. I took my wallet out, and sent it through the x-ray machine and saw on the screen, it lit up like a giant glowing ball. They let me through security to the gate. Then about 15 mins. later two guards came walking around looking and eventually approached me. They said in broken english, "We need to see your billfold". They pulled coin out and looked at it puzzled. I wasn't sure of the legality or tax consequences of carrying the coin so I said nervously "It's my lucky coin". The guards looked at it, tossed in the air, one made a comment about how heavy it was, literally tossed it about 2 feet to the other guard, who gave it back to me and sent me on my way.

Hi,
The first thing is the condition of the coin. Condition scales go from 1 to 70. Most of the early gold coins are in the 63 range. It depends on how many marks are on the coin. When coins are struck, they are thrown into a bag with others. They come into contact with other coins, and get marks called contact marks. The fewer marks, the better the grade. Also, if there is any rub or wear on the coin, that means it was used or circulated which also effects the grade.

Do not clean or polish the coin. Leave it as is. The way you stored it acceptable, but you may want to look into something more permanent. Value also depends on the mint mark. This tells us where the coin was made. The mint mark is located under the date. If nothing is there, it means the coin was made in Philadelphia. If a "D" is present, it was made in Denver, and if an "s" is present, San Francisco.

The minimum value right now would be approximately 00 based only on the gold value. But based on condition and the mint mark, it could be thousands. If you can, post a picture.

Final thought is, try to get a quick appraisal at a coin show or store. Be clear that it is not for sale. I say this because there are counterfeits around.

Question by Gold Coin Dealer: If you were going to buy a Certified 1920 Saint Gaudens Gold Double Eagle MS64, would you buy NGC, PCGS,?
Which Cert. Company would you prefer...NGC, PCGS, ICG, ANACS, SEGS, NTC, etc...???

Best answer:

Answer by stretch
I think PCGS and NGC pretty much dominate the scene. In fact they're the only two I've heard of under the new system of coin certification. I know ANACS was around before the new standards were put in place. The first thing I would do with any coin not certified by the two mentioned above would be to have them re-certified. For the very reason that the rating in years past was very subjective and not consistent.
Good luck
