I see a gold coin on Ebay for twice what mine sold for
It was graded as proof .69 and sealed by the grading
company. What does proof mean?

If I have a 1-oz Gold Eagle coin, and it isn’t in very good condition, is it still worth the price of gold?

Or would it be worth less? Does it have to be in mint condition to be worth the spot price?

Thanks
