Proof Early Gold Elusive
By Mark Ferguson
Proof gold coins are collected by a minority of collectors. Their prices begin at several thousand dollars each, and many mintages are extremely low, often fewer than a couple dozen pieces per issue.
Because of space considerations and the small percentage of collectors regularly collecting them, Proof gold coin values are not included in the print version of Coin Values magazine.
Instead they are listed on our Web site, CoinValuesOnline.com.
During the past year, we’ve embarked on a significant expansion of the grades and varieties for which we list values, in most series.
In fact, this expansion has been so enormous that, for a few areas, we need do additional research in order to confirm values.
Pre-1934 Proof gold was one of those areas. But now you can find values for virtually all of these issues on our Web site, from Proof 60 through either Proof 65 or Proof 66. Read Full Article
