The U.S. Gold Bullion Melt Value Calculator, located below, can compute the total gold value and total
gold weight of a single U.S. gold bullion coin, or a combination of several different types and quantities of
U.S. gold bullion coins. This application will only figure what the gold content, of your coins, is worth
(intrinsic value), and cannot determine any numismatic (collector) value.
You may use the calculator to find your coins value, or to figure your max bid for any online coin auction,
based on the price you’d pay for an ounce of actual gold.
(Instructions Below)
The coins featured in this app are all modern United States gold bullion coinage. If you are
looking to compute the total gold value of pre-1934 United States gold coins, then use the
U.S. Gold Coin Melt Value Calculator.
For all other gold items, use the generic
Gold Melt Value Calculator.
More applications will be added to this website on a regular basis. Be sure to check back often, or find out how to stay
updated when new apps, features and resources are added.
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 calculated based on the U.S. Dollar amount displayed in the Gold Price text box. The default
price is updated periodically throughout the trading day. You may change the Gold Price to represent how much you’d
prefer to pay per ounce, for the gold contained in any combination of U.S. gold bullion coins. This can help you to determine
the maximum bid you could enter, for an online gold 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 figures total gold value and total gold content based on the amount of gold contained in
gold bullion coins that have no wear. A coin that has been frequently handled and rubbed may not contain as much gold.
You may want to enter a percentage of that wear in the Amount of wear text box. An amount greater than the default value of 0 (zero),
will decrease the total gold value and total gold weight results accordingly.
