Superb Item, Slightly Pricey
 
Review Date: November 21, 2009
Reviewer: C. Sembello, Ardmore, PA United States
I purchased this coin as the price of gold was rocketing upward again in November 2009. True to the product description, I received a beautiful gold proof 1/10th oz. US mint American Eagle that comes with the velvety case and certificate of authenticity. The Amazon seller shipped it very quickly and securely. The one caveat I would list is that in the days following my purchase, the price of this coin product has gone up substantially over what I spent due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar, so bear in mind that at any given time you will most likely be paying a premium price.
