Metal (melt) value of one coin
The US Mint's 22-karat bullion coin, with one troy ounce of gold alloyed with silver and copper.
1.0000 troy oz of fine gold × 3,876.73 USD per troy ounce = 3,876.73 USD. The value follows the live spot price and changes with the market.
The metal value is what the gold or silver alone is worth. Dealers and jewellers sell coins above it to cover minting, their margin and, for jewellery coins, workmanship; they usually buy back slightly below it. Rare dates and collector grades can be worth far more than their metal.
