Please be advised that Coin Dealers can lose their sense of humour very quickly if asked for valuations on circulated decimal coins.
With the exception of the 1966 round 50 cent coin, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, decimal coins are worth whatever is inscribed on them.
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.
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.
Coast to Coast Coins specializes in buying and selling rare coins and currency. The other item that this site supplies is bullion, either gold, silver, platinum or palladium.
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.
The U.S. never struck any gold coins for the Bicentennial. Many Bicentennial dollars, halves and quarters were privately gold plated and sold as "Collectible" coins. The coins have no numismatic value. The coin is face value, unless you find someone that wants it.
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.
Gold and silver coins
Antiques and gold and coins.
That is the value just for the gold in the coin, not as a coin.
Copies of coins have no numismatic collectible value. It may have some value if you can find someone that wants it.
None of the gold colored dollar coins made from 2000 to date have any gold in them. Only a few error coins and collectors coins have more than face value.
No, for silver coins as the value of silver changes the value of the coin changes. The same is true for gold coins.
