About Dan Moore Expertise My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library,
and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just
about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current
price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So,
with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value
any U.S. coin you have.

Question Would you please, give your input regarding investing in such a coin ? I am interested in purchasing one. Please Advise.
Thank you.
Answer Cee,
I'm not familiar with that exact item, but I can tell you that you should not pay any significant premium over the gold value for it. i.e. if there is approx $2300 worth of gold in it, if you pay more than $2500 for it, then you've paid too much. When you go to sell it, you are only going to get its gold value, and there are plenty of other gold coins/bars out there that you can buy at gold value.
