Deciding When to Buy – Or Sell – Classic U.S. Gold Coins
PCGS.com
"What gives? Why are classic U.S. gold coins currently lagging behind the rising gold market? The situation is an example of risk versus reward. As long as you believe bullion prices will continue to rise, the market will catch up, and small premiums over the melt value usually return, albeit after the market accepts the new market levels. Coin dealers have to believe they’re making the correct move, too."

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 September 12, 2024 mid-day base metal prices:
Copper $4.1185/lb  0.0210 |
Zinc $1.2651/lb 0.0240 |
Nickel $7.1857/lb 0.0230 |

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 September 12, 2024 8:48 PM PDT silver prices:
Silver $29.97/oz 0.07
