Common-date coins are necessary for your coin collection, but paying extra for a far rarer coin is often well worth it, especially for high-grade, better-date coins. America's Gold Expert, Dr. Mike Fuljenz, is noted for his competitive prices on hand-picked mint-state, common-date rare gold coins. When considering rare "key" dates, you need Dr. Mike's expertise on your side, since small differences in grade and relative rarity can multiply the value of a single coin.

To learn why we often recommend purchasing high-grade, better-date mint-state coins over lower-grade common-date coins, see our Rare Coin Performance web page. And before your next purchase, compare some of Dr. Mike's mint-state, common-date coin prices, listed below, and then call us at 800.248.2223 to learn more.
