Spare Change Ep12: American Gold Eagle (Gold coins)

[jb9999999ify]

Wouldn't trying to collect older gold coins (or buillion purposes) be a little safer? At least we would know for sure how much gold is in each coin. Seems to me like there's some confusion as to how much is in the American Gold Eagle.

[SILVERpeasant1996]

@jb9999999ify 91.7% gold the rest copper and silver alloy, a.k.a. 22kt gold is the composition of ALL gold eagles, hope that clears things up.

[managarm1349]

how did that "...for reducing the national debt of america" turn out? lol

[ParanoidGallows]

The Ronald Reagan impersonation sounds more like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.

[applesweeter]

is the coin 99.99% gold in composition?

[Altaranalt]

Even his hat is golden!

[MrBanker2222]

I know a website that offers a secret code that produces 90% success ratio on gold trading. Go check them out, just google Gold Trading Academy and make as much money as you want.

[scrimpn83]

YOU BUY GOLD COINS AT ALL ?

[jethros97]

commercials suck!!!

[DocWog]

Demand and supply is an economic model of price determination in a market.

Silver and gold is a good long-term investment for those who can afford it, BUT it seems to me that continuous growth of the gold price is clearly due to artificial market manipulation intentionally created by rich and powerful. By escalating people's interest and their further desires, it is obvious why price is continue sky rocketing.

[werebiz]

Why haven't you moved?

[akush55]

Is this the Fifth or Six Gold Rush Serial 2000 AD buy low , sell highest

[sweettooth80]

 want gold

[DackIsBack]

91% Gold..... Fucking Crooks!!!

[MONOPOLY35]

A $50 American Gold Eagle weighs 1.0909 oz; Therefore, 91% gold is equivalent to 1 oz. The other 9% comes from harder metals because gold is a soft metal. American Gold Eagles are NOT a ripoff!

[DackIsBack]

@MONOPOLY35 Most gold bullion is 99% + Pure Gold...

These coins arn't made for circulation, There's no reason to pollute the gold other than to rip people off.

It's just a 'clever' way to clip coins.

Look up coin clipping and why it's done.

[BDBK666]

@DackIsBack The fact is they contain 31.103 grams (1 troy oz) of pure gold, and weigh 33.930 grams. The American gold buffalo coin is .9999 and weighs 31.103 grams. I guess I don't understand what you mean... do you think the gold eagles don't actually contain the gold they say? Sounds like something China would do, not the US. I don't know though these days.

[DackIsBack]

@MONOPOLY35 YOU might think nothing of it, But it is debasement of currency none the less.

[carrmcg]

how much r those coins worth?

[onceRoquin]

i was shocked its a 22k, i thought it was .9999 like the maple leaf.

[theSharpGun]

I'm a big fan of your Spare Change series. That is how I started learning the history of the coins.

[ladyspyru]

ahhhh!!

[GU14Weather]

*LIKE*

[theSharpGun]

Please continue making these vids!!!

They are a wealth of knowledge and entertaining to watch!!!

If possible please consider making a video on Walking Liberty Half Dollars. They are personally my favorite due to their artistic beauty.

[herakles120]

The obverse design magnificent. The reverse design simply atrocious. The design is too cluttered which Augustus Saint Gaudens consciously avoided the first time he conceived the design for the gold $20 piece. The gold bullion design only cheapens the striding lady liberty design and a mismatch for the glorious obverse design. I would simply call this modern coins a mule, devoid of artistic value.

[mattimattiusa]

This was excellent.

[bananasqueek]

lol i opened 4 links of the same video for fun and u sounded like a robot! anyone else should try it cause its cool

[buzzclick500]

Which Franklin D. Rosefield(Roosevelt)had not the slightest lawful authority to do. ;])

[markapsolon]

@buzzclick500 I agree. He did it through executive order which according to the US constitution mean absolutely nothing.

[buzzclick500]

@markapsolon : That brings up an interesting point--two interesting points, actually: 1. The Constitution, not to dramatize, but to simplify, is a document which confines our government, not US. It's a standing restraining order against, and job description for THEM. 2. President Reagan was actually making a gesture to the American people. You notice that his administration began to crumble from within shortly after he did this--the second president to dare to touch the "money box".

[hoho69]

what does "bullion purposes" mean? Thanks sir.

[markapsolon]

@hoho69 "Bullion purpose" means that you are just wanting to have the physical gold and have no need for any numismatic (collectible) value.

[DivaOana]

yeah me too :D

[Mortan95]

Very entertaining, im also going for the contest :D

[fangsmaster]

COINS *_*

[kyle7447]

[kenjiacso]

thank you , its like watching television but without having a TV !

i so love the internet ...

[buzzclick500]

@kenjiacso : Anything we want to watch, any time, any format, able to converse with anyone about what we're watching.....we're all the proprietors of our own t.v. stations, networks, magazines...it's a very good thing. ;])

[Valhalla1]

[ykltc]

Bravo, very informative.

[nimi118]

[marcogerra]

[rogertayloRRR]

what is "burnished"

[gusto1978]

@rogertayloRRR i think he mean barnished it means shinny or glossy

[goofy932]

Commercials in disguise

[buzzclick500]

@goofy932 : In disguise? How? Seems pretty up-front.

[wetnoodle127]

My goal in life is to make videos that are at least half as good as these

[buzzclick500]

President Ronald Reagan. The last truly American president so far. Said what he thought, did what was right.

[thetechnoexpert]

I've always been interested in coin collecting, but have never got around to doing do. I love how you vary the content in your videos :)

[TheFed0ra]

I'm not much of a coin collector (although we do have a big jar filled with different coins, American, European, and other types of currency) But these videos are so interesting!

[numag1]

Careful. American Gold Eagles can be easily counterfeited. It could fool even an expert. The counterfeiters use a tungsten core which has practically the same density as gold.

[12kdaddy28]

I feel like a mind grenade just hit me lol.
