View DetailsUnderstanding Gold Coin Melt Values
💰 What is Melt Value?
Melt value is the intrinsic worth of a coin based solely on its precious metal content. It represents the minimum value of the coin if melted down for its gold content.
⚖️ How It's Calculated
Melt value = Gold content (troy oz) × Current gold spot price. For example, a coin with 0.9675 oz of gold worth $4,182/oz has a melt value of $4,045.90.
📊 Gold Purity Matters
Gold coins come in different purities: 24K (99.99% pure), 22K (91.67% pure), and 90% gold. Higher purity means more gold content per gram of total weight.
🔍 Numismatic vs Melt Value
Rare coins often trade above melt value due to collector demand. Common date bullion coins typically trade close to melt value plus a small premium.
