Why does a 1 oz silver American eagle coin appear larger than a 1 oz gold American eagle?

Is the gold a more dense metal? Or is is simply an optical illusion and the thickness is actually greater on the gold coin?

It is not an optical illusion. Gold is the denser metal, as you correctly suspect. Therefore, when comparing coins of the same weight of gold and silver, the gold coin will be the smaller in size.

Besides, gold coins are just fascinating to collect!

How much can I expect to receive from a coin shop if I sell my 1997 $20 American Gold Eagle coins.?

American Gold Eagles sell based on bullion prices. Today gold closed at $915. A coin dealer is going to discount that price so he will have a margin to work with when he tries to resell the coin. My guess would be somewhere between $800 and $850.

American Gold coin Eagle fake?

what are the chances a $10, 1/4 ounce bullion gold eagle from 2004 is counterfeit? i got it on eay for $260, or is it too much money to counterfeit a lower valued coin? it looks like gold, but i fear it may be fake.

I already sent you an answer here and have checked with others and find no fakes reported of American Eagle Gold coins. To be safe weigh the coin. Also look at it for pock marks such as raised dots and the lettering in the legends should be sharp with no unsharp lines. You did not say where it came from. Most coins from China are fakes.

How much is a quarter american eagle bullion gold coin worth right now?

I don't want to get ripped off
wise_irish_owl...i'm not that stupid, i know it is not that cheap...if it were everybody would be stocking up on it. I know a quarter ounce is at least $100 - $200. I want someone who knows the real answer to tell me...like a gold collector.

If it is a common date coin, it is worth between $130-150, depending on the current gold market prices.
