Value of 2008 Five Dollar Gold Coin

The 2008 $5 gold coin is pretty much just valued for its bullion. All that means is that the value of the coin will change based on the current value of gold. This coin weighs a tenth of an ounce. So you can divide the current price of gold by ten to get the precious metal value of this coin. Collectors refer to these as AGE or American Gold Eagles.
