"Gold and financial markets saw strong volatility as President-elect Donald Trump held his first press conference since July and his first since winning the November election. According to some analysts, the U.S. dollar, and equities sold off, supporting gold prices as Trump provided no new details on his economic and fiscal policies.

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 January 11, 2017 mid-day base metal prices:
Copper $2.5685/lb  0.0239 |
Zinc $1.2170/lb 0.0062 |
Nickel $4.5352/lb 0.2457 |
United States Circulated Silver Coin Values - Updated Every Minute

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 January 11, 2017 8:59 PM PST silver prices:
Silver $16.83/oz  0.09
