Check these before selling at melt
Proof and burnished Gold Eagles sell to collectors for more than melt, as do some 2021 coins from the year the design changed. Common bullion dates trade on their gold.
This page prices metal, not rarity. A coin a collector would pay more for should be looked up in a grading guide before it is sold by weight; once it goes into a melt lot, the premium is gone.
The American Gold Eagle is the US Mint's bullion coin, struck since 1986 in 22-karat gold: 91.67% gold with silver and copper. The one-ounce coin weighs 33.93 grams and contains exactly one troy ounce of gold, and the fractional sizes hold a half, a quarter and a tenth of an ounce.
The number above is melt value: the gold in one coin at the live spot price. Dealers buy common American Gold Eagles close to it and sell above it; the gap is their premium. A few coins are worth more to collectors than their gold, and a section on this page names them.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much is a American Gold Eagle worth today?
$3,874.80 in gold for a one-ounce Gold Eagle, at a spot price of $3,874.80 a troy ounce. It contains 1 troy ounce of pure gold in a 33.931-gram coin at 22 karat (91.67%). That is the value of the metal; a coin with collector value can be worth more.
Do dealers pay melt value for American Gold Eagles?
Close to it for common dates. A dealer's buy price for a bullion coin is usually a little under or around melt, and the sell price above it; the difference is the dealer's margin. Ask for the buy price per coin and compare it with the melt value on this page before you sell.
Is a $50 Gold Eagle worth $50?
The $50 is its legal-tender face value, set by law and far below the gold inside. Nobody prices the coin by it: a one-ounce Gold Eagle trades on its ounce of gold plus a dealer premium.
