Sell American Gold Eagle Coins
in Arizona — Spot-Based Prices
American Gold Eagles are the most widely recognized gold bullion coin in the U.S. — and one of the easiest to sell quickly at a fair price. YML Refinery buys all sizes at competitive spot-based prices. 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz Eagles purchased same day for cash.
American Gold Eagle Basics
The American Gold Eagle is the official gold bullion coin of the United States, first minted in 1986. All four sizes contain exactly their stated gold content — 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, or 1/10 oz — in a 22-karat (91.67%) gold alloy. The remaining metal is copper and silver, which adds hardness for durability.
Gold Eagles are among the most liquid gold coins in the world. Every major gold buyer recognizes them on sight, and they trade at prices very close to the live gold spot price.
What You Can Expect When Selling
The offer you receive will be calculated as:
Gold content (troy oz) × current spot price × buyer percentage
Reputable buyers pay 92–97% of melt value on standard bullion Eagles. The percentage varies by quantity — a single coin and a roll of 20 get different treatment. YML Refinery will show you exactly how the number is calculated.
Avoid selling Gold Eagles to pawn shops. Pawn shops are in the loan business, not the precious metals business, and typically offer 60–75% of melt value on gold coins — often 30% less than a dedicated gold buyer.
Proof vs. Bullion Eagles
Bullion Eagles are struck for general circulation, sold at a small premium to spot, and are worth close to melt when selling back. These are the coins you buy from coin dealers, banks, and mints for investment.
Proof Eagles are specially struck with mirror-finish dies for collectors, sold in display cases with certificates of authenticity. They carry higher initial premiums and may retain numismatic value above melt — especially early dates (pre-1993), low-mintage years, and West Point (W) mint marks.
If you have proof Eagles, bring them in their original cases and boxes. We evaluate proof Eagles against current NGC and PCGS price guides in addition to melt value.

Frequently Asked Questions
A 1 oz American Gold Eagle contains exactly 1 troy oz of gold (91.67% pure, 22 karat — actual gold content 1.0000 troy oz despite the coin weighing 1.0909 oz total). At $3,200/oz gold spot, expect approximately $3,100–$3,200 for a standard bullion issue in any condition. Proof and special issues may carry numismatic premiums. Call (623) 974-3772 for a live quote.
Yes — all four sizes. The 1/2 oz Eagle contains 0.5000 troy oz gold, the 1/4 oz contains 0.2500 oz, and the 1/10 oz contains 0.1000 oz. Each is priced at a percentage of the 1 oz spot price. Fractional Eagles typically sell at slightly above-spot prices because of higher per-ounce premiums in the retail market — we account for this.
For standard bullion Eagles, year matters only marginally. Common years (1986–present) trade very close to spot regardless of date. A few early dates (1986-W proof, certain proofs) carry collector premiums. We check every Eagle against current numismatic data before offering spot.
Any condition. Scratched, worn, or damaged Eagles still contain their full gold content and are bought at spot-based prices. Proof Eagles in original capsules and boxes may carry additional numismatic value.
