The spot price of gold (as of January 7, 2009) is US$839 per troy ounce, so 9 troy ounces is worth $7,551. A couple of points to keep in mind: -- The price of gold is very volatile right now, and is swings of $30 per day in the spot price of a troy ounce are not uncommon. -- "Spot" is not really "spot" at the moment; that is, the actual price to buy and sell actual physical gold is rather higher than the spot price (by as much as $50 or more) at which the commodity theoretically trades. -- Coins can have numismatic value above the precious metal value (although that seems unlikely in the case of a 9 ounce coin) -- Are you sure that this "coin" is actually gold? 9 ounces is rather large for a circulating coin.
One cent. The U.S. does not make gold pennies. Your coin has either been plated for use in jewelry, or the copper coating has reacted a bit with the zinc core. The latter can cause a goldish tint. Gold currently sells for about $1000 an ounce. A cent weighs around 1/12 of an ounce so a penny made of gold would contain about $80 worth of gold, not a sensible way to make that coin. Alternately, one cent's worth of gold would result in a coin so small you'd need a magnifying glass to see it, LOL!
This depends on whether the coin is a 1990 or 1990 Proof coin. A 1990 gold coin with a face value of $10.00 that weighs 0.25 ounces is worth approximately $390. A 0.25-ounce 1990 Proof coin is worth approximately $420.
Typically those types of coins are generally worth market value of gold. The 50 dollar coin is 1 troy ounce of gold, so therefore around $1400 as of late December of 2010.

The value of a 1990 Eisenhower gold commemorative coin depends on the condition of the coin. On average the coin would be worth approximately $26.
It is worth whatever the gold price is. I'm assuming you have a US 1 oz gold eagle. If you do indeed have a one ounce gold eagle it is worth whatever 1 troy ounce of gold is worth.

It is worth its weight in gold. Gold is worth about $1335 an ounce but your ring is probably less than an ounce and is not pure gold but maybe 14k.
Any collector value would depend on the year and condition of the coin. At the very least, it will be worth whatever the current price of gold might be. A mint condition Sovereign contains 7.322381 grams of gold. Currently gold is at about $1,790 USD per ounce. That makes the gold content of a Sovereign coin worth about $79 USD.
$1 - $100 depending on the coin if it is a $100 coin it is worth $100 if it is a 50 cent coin.
The $50 Liberty is a bullion coin valued for the one troy ounce of gold it contains. Current price would be $1200 - $1400, depending on the spot gold market.

A troy ounce is about 31 grams and the US standard ounce (avoirdupois) is about 28 grams. When buying coins, or gold or silver, you get more by getting a troy ounce. The price of gold and silver is in troy ounces. So, for example, if gold is $1400 an ounce, that price is for a troy ounce. A 28 gram ounce of gold is not worth $1400.
The only one ounce gold coins made by the U.S. are the American Eagle gold BULLION coins starting in 1986. Post new question with the denomination of the coin.
It would depend on what type of American Eagle coin it was. An American Eagle one ounce silver coin would be worth silver spot price, which is just over $21 a the time of writing, a one ounce American Eagle Gold coin would be worth gold spot which is just shy of $1300. The spot prices for metals can be found on websites such as Kitco or by simply typing in Gold (or silver) spot price in Google or another search engine.
