First you melt it and mould it. Then you got a gold coin out of it. IT depends on how many carats are you able to get from jewelry.
No, Gold is not used as money, Gold is used as jewelry. You can take your jewelry to a pawn shop or a jewelry store and then you can sell the jewelry to make money. Gold was only used as money when governments controlled its price. Today the price is allowed to change on a daily basis so it would be impossible to mint a coin and give it a fixed value.
In 1960 I bought a US 20 dollar gold coin that is encase in a gold frame to be worn as jewelry. This coin is 1924 and was minted in San Francisco I assume as it has an s by the date. I would like to know what is the value of this coin.
Take it to a coin dealer
Yes. By definition 24 karat gold is pure gold, no matter what form it is in (leaf, coin, bar, or jewelry).
Such a coin isn't a real coin and has absolutely no collector value. Rather any value comes from the precious metal content (if any) in the coin. I would take it to a jewelry store or a refiner and have them test it and see how much gold is in it (if any) and then sell it for the price of gold because such a "coin" has no collector value at all.
To find if a peso gold coin actually has gold in it, your best bet is to go to a jewelry shop and have it examined by a person that makes his or her living doing that type of stuff. Hope this helped.
$1. Ikes were never issued in gold or gold-colored metal, only in cupronickel for circulation and silver for collector sets. Your coin was almost certainly plated for use in jewelry or something similar.
A coin used as jewelry has very little if any collectible value, most dealers will not even touch them.
If it is a genuine US coin and not something made as jewelry that only looks like a US coin, you are looking at a minimum of $900.
Assuming the coin is circulated and in a collectible condition, retail value is $300.00-$400.00 depending on the actual grade of the coin. 1899 Liberty Head Half Eagles are a high mintage common date gold coin. NOTE: If the coin has been used as a jewelry piece, value is for the gold content only about $265.00 as of today.
There are wide variety of Dallas locations that exchange gold jewelry for cash. Fullers Jewelry, Dallas Valley Goldmine, and Diamond and Gold Exchange, for example, each offer this service.
Fifty cents. There have never been any genuine gold half dollars issued even when gold coins were struck for circulation, and that was only before 1933. Your coin was plated for use in jewelry or something similar.
