Total approximate value of this lot with shipping: A lot.
US Minted Coins are generally 90% Gold and 10% Copper.
This coin in question is: 33.4 Grams Total Weight: (minus any wear from circulation):
When Minted, equates to 1.0 Troy ounce = 31.1 Grams Gold PLUS2.3 Grams Copper
As Gold is a soft metal, the Copper is added to make it more durable for circulation.
It’s 90% gold and 10% copper, but the coin weighs more than an ounce, so there is .9675 of an ounce of pure gold in it. No gold is pure gold. It’s considered a 1-ounce gold coin even though it is only .9675 of an ounce of pure gold.
But I will say this. It doesn’t matter that it is only .9675 of an once… No one melts these coins for the gold content. They aren’t melted down for their gold because they have numismatic value (value because it is old and rare).
If you are really interested in the actual melt value of the gold content, let’s do a little math.
Gold at the time of this post is: $3,347/ounce. .9675 x $3,347 = $3,238. That’s the value of the coin if you melted it and salvaged the gold…. which no one would do.
