Thanks for the tip. I've sold several eagles to a local gold dollar at spot for cash, so I'd definitely go with that instead of sending my coin through the mail. She's the one that kept insisting I get a buffalo actually, glad I took her advice. Once I got the coin I decided I would not sacrifice it for spot, and probably would keep it to play the gold market, at least this first one.
Yeah, I follow you on that one. It is very easy to get emotional attached to gold coins. I tried to sell one of my panda's ... but just could not let it go (still have it).
Nevertheless it is important to keep in mind why you bought it, if it was a gold investment then do you need to treat it as a bullion and sell it for what ever small % over spot you can get. If it was bought as a semi collectible, then will you need to keep in the mint seal for many years.
The gold market awards no premium to what ever emotional attachment the seller might have to the coin.
