You either have a Coronet Gold Dollar or a Indian Head, small head gold dollar - both coins were minted in the year of 1854. Assuming you have the Coronet in very fine condition (VF20), its value is: $200. If you have the Indian Head, small head coin, its value in very fine conditon is: $350.
The value of 1854 sovereigns can vary based on the current gold market price, as sovereigns are gold coins weighing approximately 7.98 grams of pure gold. To find the value, you would multiply the number of sovereigns by the current price of gold per gram. As of October 2023, if gold is priced at around $60 per gram, then 1854 sovereigns would be valued at approximately $7.1 million. However, actual values can fluctuate based on market conditions and collector interest.
California became a part of the United States in 1850. As a state, California could not mint coins. However, private companies struck their own gold coins, bearing their name and released them into circulation during the years from 1849 to 1855. Most had ceased minting operations by 1854 since the branch of the US Mint was in operation by that time. But Kellogg & Company still minted gold coins in 1854. The company was reorganized as Kellogg & Humbert late in 1854 and produced coins in 1855. I don't know that anyone knows how many coins were minted by these private companies but the coins are rather scarce and many command a very high price tag. The US Branch Mint at San Francisco was indeed minting gold coins in 1854 in the demoniations of $1, $2.50, $5, $10 and $20.
The value of gold coins can be determined in two different ways--the melt-down value and the coin value. The melt-down value is the value of the pure gold in the coins, which is determined by the weight. The face value of the coins can be found on a collector's website.
A few cents or a dollar at most. Such coins are not collectable, they are not produced by the US mint. Gold plating adds only a tiny bit of gold to the coin, not enough to add any value to it.
Older American gold coins are a great asset to hold. Quantitative Easing may be diminishing the value of the dollar, but gold retains its value. The Coins section of the About website gives indications of values of old gold coins.
There are several factors that determine the value of gold coins. One factor is how much gold is in the coin. Gold is valued by weight, so the more gold the coin has, the higher the value will be. Also, the age of the gold coin. Older, rarer coins will be worth more.
Yes. Especially modern bullion coins. Out of all of the coins, pre-1933 US coins historically have lost less of their value due to small fluctuation in the gold price because they sell for a large premium over the gold content in them, especially for some of the older and smaller coins. Coins like modern British Sovereigns, US Gold Eagles and Canadian Maple Leafs are all traded at a small premium over the spot price of gold, usually around $20 so their value is simply the price of all the gold in them plus around $20. Some older common European gold coins have similar price trends.
Wow! - if you possess a 1854 $20 Coronet Head Double Eagle gold coin, its value in very fine condition (VF20) is worth: at least $1200.
