The U.S. Gold Bullion Melt Value Calculator, displayed below, can determine the total gold value
and total gold weight of a single U.S. gold bullion coin, fractional U.S. gold bullion coin, or
a mix of many different types and quantities of U.S. gold bullion coins. The gold bullion
calculator will only figure what the gold in your bullion coins is worth (intrinsic value), and
will not indicate any numismatic (collector) value.
Use the gold bullion calculator to figure how much the gold in your coins is worth, or to set a
max bid on a gold bullion coin auction based on its gold content melt value.

How to use the U.S. Gold Bullion Melt Value Calculator.
Enter the total quantity of coins for each type of U.S. gold bullion coin in the entire coin lot. Enter your numbers in the
corresponding text boxes to the right of each gold bullion coin description (blue link). You could also just click on the
coin’s picture, or its link, to increase the value in its text box by 1. The calculator will automatically
update the Total Gold Value (in red), whenever the number of gold bullion coins has been changed.
The Total Gold Value is measured based on the U.S. Dollar amount supplied in the Gold
Price text box. The default price is updated periodically throughout the trading day. The
Gold Price can be adjusted to denote how much you'd be looking to pay per ounce for the gold
contained in any quantity of U.S. gold bullion coins. This can help you to find the maximum bid
you might furnish for an online U.S. gold bullion coin auction.
In addition to the Total Gold Value (in red), the U.S. gold bullion calculator will also figure a Bid and Ask price based
on the amount displayed in the Price Spread text box. This amount defaults to 5%, but can be changed if you like. The gold Bid
and Ask prices are shown in the lower section of the gold results box, for those who would like to use them.
The U.S. gold bullion calculator shows you total gold value and total gold content ascertained
from the amount of gold contained in gold bullion coins that haven't any wear. A gold coin
that has been frequently handled or rubbed may not include as much gold. There is an option to
submit a percentage of that wear in the "Amount of Wear" text box. An entry greater
than the default value of 0 (zero), will lower the total gold value and total gold weight
results proportionally.
