A gold coin's melt value is the gold inside it times the spot price. The gold inside is not the coin's weight: 22-karat coins such as the Krugerrand, the Gold Eagle and the sovereign are 91.67% gold, the rest copper or copper and silver, so a one-ounce Krugerrand weighs 33.93 grams to hold 31.10 grams of gold. The table above uses each coin's gold content, from the mint's specifications.
Melt value is the floor for a bullion coin, not its price. Dealers buy common coins near melt and sell them above it, and some coins are worth more to collectors than their gold; each coin's own page says which.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate the melt value of a gold coin?
Multiply its gold content in troy ounces by the spot price. At today's $3,874.80, a coin with 0.2354 ounces of gold, a full sovereign, is worth $912.13 in gold. Use the coin's gold content, not its weight: a 22-karat coin weighs about 9% more than the gold it holds.
Which gold coins contain exactly one ounce of gold?
Gold Eagle ($50), Krugerrand, American Gold Buffalo, Austrian Philharmonic, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. The 22-karat ones (Krugerrand, Gold Eagle) weigh about 33.9 grams; the 24-karat ones about 31.1 grams. All of them are worth $3,874.80 in gold today.
Will a dealer pay melt value for my gold coins?
For common bullion coins, close to it: a dealer's buy price is usually a little under or around melt, and the sell price above it. Pre-1933 US gold and older European coins usually fetch a premium over melt, and rare dates far more.
Is a 22-karat gold coin worth less than a 24-karat one?
Not per ounce of gold. Karat is the share of gold in the alloy, and the mint makes a 22-karat one-ounce coin heavier so that it still holds a full ounce. Compare coins by the gold they contain, which this table already does.
