If you were living in England or anywhere else you could buy this 50 gram ingot for less money. Our currency is suffering. Time to stop printing so much money.
By the way...this new coin would be 28.35 grams.
$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?
