Talk:American Gold Eagle

message: Article: "As is often the case with bullion coins, the face values of these coins ($5, $10, $25 and $50; reflecting the fact that the coins are legal tender[2]) are mostly symbolic and do not reflect their true value."
OK, that tells me what the face value *doesn't* mean, but what *does* it mean?  :-)
Hypothetically, if the price of gold was to drop to under $50/oz, does it mean a 1oz AGE would still be the monetary equivalent of a $50 bill?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.71.175.177 (talk) 20:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  So what *does* it mean? 

message: My understading is that it is 24 karat gold not 22 but becomes 22 karat overall because of the addition of the silver and copper. Is this important to note? 91.111.151.152 (talk) 20:32, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

message: In the second paragraph, someone has made the human-centric mistake of assuming that the female tends the young. In fact, eagles share parenting duties, and if anything, the one in flight appears slightly larger, suggesting it's the female (25% sexual dimorphism). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_eagle#Reproduction. I only suggest removing the unjustified gender assumption. Wildbirdz (talk) 18:59, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tax Implications section needed? 

message: The article states that all the American Gold Eagle proof coins were minted at West Point. As of this writing that statement is properly tagged with a "citation needed" flag. In 1987, at least, the half-ounce proof coins were minted at Philadelphia and bore a "P" mint mark. — 72.181.2.153 (talk) 14:05, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The advice that "you cannot be taxed on the transaction, even if the coin appreciates" sounds like a paranoid sovereign citizen movement tax scam pitch.  The legal case references don't support the idea.  Also clearly WP:NOTHOWTO and WP:YOU tone.  Should be edited out altogether.  Richard J Kinch (talk) 22:56, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dubious tax advice and HOWTO 

message: How useful are the detailed production tables that dominate this article? Is anyone going to come here looking for the AGE price corresponding to a gold price of $550? The production tables show some interesting trends, particularly the production spikes in 1998 and 2008 that followed the Asian financial crisis and the global financial crisis, but do they have any other utility? I'm inclined to remove these tables in favor of prose. 73.71.251.64 (talk) 23:04, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I oppose removing production tables entirely.  Perhaps they could be moved to a separate list article on production of US bullion coins. - ZLEA T\C 15:44, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

text: Production numbers are of interest to numismatists and coin collectors.  As for the pricing table, I would ask . - ZLEA T\C 20:26, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the mintage tables are more useful than the prices, but I would not delete the prices if they are sourced and recent. However, I've always been leery about giving too much opinion information (which, after all, valuations are) when that is part of what you buy a catalog for.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:57, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
