Gold Advances, Rare Coin Discounts Continue

April 14, 2025

What a roller coaster ride it has been the past few weeks with Gold climbing to $3,160 an ounce only to fall back below $3,000. The world economy is in a state of flux and the metals are adjusting because of falling currencies around the globe. The fluctuations in Gold and other precious metals have buyers and sellers wondering which way to go daily. The end of last week saw Gold jump over $3,230 an ounce while morning trading is now at $3,204. Most analysts feel Gold is destined to higher levels by the end of the year.
The recent Whitman Baltimore Expo featured the Stack's Bowers Galleries Sale, the display included a strong array of rarities that were sure to attract buyers from all over the world. U.S Gold was again the center of attention which has been the norm for most major auctions the last few years. Collectors cannot get enough of shiny Gold coins, especially when they are high grade with very low populations. Check out the Stack's Bowers website for all the prices realized, below are some of the many highlights from their most recent sale.
1801 $10 Gold Heraldic Eagle certified by PCGS MS65 and CMQ

The 1801 $10 Gold may have had a high mintage of over 44,000 coins, yet there are less than one thousand coins known to exist today. The major portion of that population is circulated with less than seventy coins certified in MS64 and higher; there is only one certified higher than this current coin in PCGS MS65+. The PCGS MS65, which also has the CMQ approval sticker, brought $264,000 in this sale. The current FMV is $357,500, which will be re-evaluated in the next update.

1898 $20 Gold certified by PCGS PR65 DCAM and CMQ

The 1898 $20 Gold in Proof had an original mintage of seventy-five coins, however, there are over eighty coins certified in all grades of Proof. It is obvious that some of these coins have been resubmitted for higher grades. The highest certification in Deep Cameo is the PCGS PR67+, although NGC indicates another four coins certified in PR67 Deep Cameo. With a total of fifteen coins certified in PR65 Deep Cameo and higher, you can presume that the bidders for this coin feel the population reports are rather exaggerated. This PCGS PR65 DCAM, also with CMQ approval, realized $240,000 in this sale.
