The Major Catalysts That Influence Gold Prices
Commodity Trade Mantra
"If you’ve ever wondered what makes physical gold tick, these seven catalysts are it. It’s been a wild year for stocks, but it’s been nothing short of an exceptional year for physical gold and gold investors. Gold began the year at $1,060.80 an ounce, and it was mired in a multi-year downtrend that had seen the lustrous yellow metal lose about $850 an ounce from its all-time high. However, things reversed very early in 2016. Physical gold had its best quarterly gain in 30 years during the first quarter, and year-to-date, even with its recent swoon, physical gold is higher by roughly $200 an ounce."

United States Circulating Coin Values
This table does not reflect U.S. Mint production costs, but the pure base metal value that composes the coin. Calculations are based on coin weight, metal composition, and base metal prices. The "Metal % of Face Value" column represents the percentage of metal that comprises the denomination's purchasing power. A coin that is over 100% in this category has more base metal value than purchasing power.
Table based on October 20, 2016 mid-day base metal prices:
Copper $2.0997/lb  0.0099 |
Zinc $1.0322/lb 0.0140 |
Nickel $4.5662/lb 0.0839 |
United States Circulated Silver Coin Values - Updated Every Minute
These coins were in standard circulation until silver was removed from all coinage in 1965 and 1970 (40% silver half-dollars). I recognize that the silver Eisenhower dollar was issued as a collectible only, but I'm still categorizing it with this group. This table illustrates how far the metal value has progressed compared to the denomination's purchasing power after the debasement.
Table based on October 21, 2016 2:07 AM PDT silver prices:
Silver $17.44/oz -0.05
