Year of Issue?

Getting ready to buy my first batch of golden eagles.

I notice it's priced by year of issue with 2012 getting the highest price of course, followed by 2011 and then "random years, our choice".

Does it make any difference?

There is usually a premium for the newest year, but then after that they are all lumped together with the same price. I would just buy a random year that is in good condition.

Not enough to worry about.  Avoid buying old coins that are advertised as having any value as collectibles.  Beyond that you're fine.

Thanks. For a long term investment in gold that's what I figured but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
