I had some questions about investing in gold bullion for sale coins. First I was wondering where the best place to get gold coins is, online or at a coin shop? Also I notice some coins such as the American gold eagle have a value minted on the coins face, what is the purpose of this since the value of gold changes daily? And if you were to purchase gold would there be any additional taxes associated with it, or just the sales tax like any other purchase? Thanks in advance

what is the likelihood(chance) that an American gold eagles coin, from 1988-2008 be fake on ebay?
