**URGENT!! **How Much Is A 1999 $25 DOLLAR GOLD EAGLE Worth? ?

I was recently looking at currency items on Ebay, and I came across a 1999 $25 dollar Proof Gold coin that was for sale, and noticed it had a "Buy It Now" price of $2,355 dollars. I am fairly new to collecting coins, so I was hoping someone could please possibly help me out with a question I had about that coin. Is this coin a "very rare" coin? Is it because it's been graded by chance? Or is it a rare coin as far as the year? I have searched all over the web trying to find this out, and realized several sites that deal in gold coins had several $25.00 gold coins for sell, but the 1999 coin wasn't available in their lists, they had surrounding years, but skipped 1999. Is this coin a "very rare" coin? I would greatly appreciate your help & response to this, It's driving me crazy trying to find out an honest response by searching the web, It interest me because i believe i may also have this coin in a collection i have in storage, but mine has not been graded. Does having the coin graded greatly increase the value as well? Again, I would really appreciate any help on this, and look forward to your response. I Would Appreciate An Urgent Honest Response!

    2. The person selling the coin is looking for a sucker. Mintage for the 1999-W (proof) was 30,452. Looking at mintage’s the 1998-W was 25,549. The scarce ones are 2004-W at 7,835 & 2005-W at 7,054. Now you know why I dislike ebay dealers, for most are very dishonest and some are down and right crooks. This is my personal opinion here.
    there is a limited collector base to the proof gold bullion coins. In reality they are a government made collectibles so they can make money. They put a denomination on them only because without it they would not fit the definition of a coin. You need to read up on things before spending your hard earned cash.

    3. the most current retail value for 1999 $25 gold proof is $549.00. it’s mintage in 1999 was30,542 as compared to 25,896 for 1998 and 32,000 for 2000. not at all rare, and grossly overpriced in my opinion.all coins released as proof coins are graded as “proof coins” by the u.s. mint.
    as to the value of a graded coin, it depends on the coin, the condition, the scarcity and the demand. which isn’t much of an answer.
    hope this helps.
