When buying U.S. Mint Gold coins, you will encounter three major types of Gold coins and your collecting and investment goals will determine which ones you purchase. The first category, in which the Gold Half Eagle is included, is vintage pre-1933 Gold coins which were often in circulation and whose numismatic, or collector, value is typically more than the premium over spot price of modern Gold bullion coins. The second type of Gold coin is sovereign Gold bullion coins like Gold American Eagles which are U.S. Mint issued and have a face value although they are intended for investment rather than circulation and are purchased primarily by investors for their raw Gold value, although collectors also like the beautiful designs. The third type is commemorative Gold coins that celebrate Americana and although they are legal tender, the Gold bullion coins are not minted for general circulation. When you buy Gold coins, consider the factors that give them numismatic value. The numismatic value of the $5 Gold Half Eagle, and other Gold coins, is determined by a number of factors. Modern numismatics focuses on Gold coins from the mid-17th Century onward, when coins were machine-struck. When studying modern numismatic coins like collectible Gold Eagle coins, the focus is primarily on production and historical context. When determining the numismatic value of U.S. Mint Gold coins and Gold coins from other mints, factors to consider include number of coins minted and still available, varieties, mint-made production errors, and even the historical and political context of the coins.
