Hi, Confused!

Indeed, coin values can be and are a confusing matter for many, so no worries. Based on the photos I am seeing on your post, your Saint-Gaudens $20 double eagle is worth closer to $1,500 (USD). That figure is based on the United States market; it is quite possible your piece may fetch a bit more on the Egyptian market as the Saint-Gaudens double eagle gold coins are certainly scarcer in that collector market than the U.S. market.

I advise you to sell your coin at a coin dealer or on eBay. Bear in mind, values of gold coins such as the $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin fluctuate based on prevailing bullion values, and thus your coin may be worth more or less by the time you read this.

I wish you all the best,

Thanks alot for ur reply mr.joshua
Now it seems to me that i should better sell it for that price i got that 80 thousand..or u mean on ebay i might get better chance?

Okasha, I doubt you would get more selling the coin on eBay. If you know someone willing to pay U.S. $80,000 for your coin then by all means sell it to them. Keep in mind, however, that your coin is really worth about $1,500 as Josh pointed out.

Depending on the laws in Egypt governing precious metals, it could definitely be worth more in your market, but not likely to fetch you more than $2,000.

If you decide to sell over eBay make sure you thoroughly study eBay policies regarding publishing and selling from Egypt. You need to see first if you can legally list the coin for sale and check if any laws in Egypt could interfere with an international gold sale. These laws are very different from country to country so make sure you do your homework.

Obviously the best thing to do if your contact does not want to pay the $80,000 (which the coin isn't worth, anyway) would be to sell it to a reputable gold dealer in your area.
