$50 Gold Eagle sells for $885 from the mint? Doesn't that seem... wrong? Just what is the point of the face value? Are you going to take it to the grocery store?

I have never bought any proof / uncirculated / rare coins so I don't know if that ~33% mark-up over the regular coin ($575 + 10% markup = $632) is high or not.
