The value of a piece of pure gold, the size of a Golf ball, would be about $43,600.

Related Information:

The diameter of a golf ball is about, D = 4.27 cm.

Volume of a sphere is given by, v = [pi x D3]/6 = [3.1416 x (4.27 cm)3]/6

Volume of the ball; v = 40.8 cm3 ( 3 digit rounded figure )

Density of pure gold; d = 19.3 g/cm3

Mass of gold in this volume of gold is given by; m = d x V

m = 19.3 g/cm3 x 40.8 cm3 = 787 g ( 3 digit rounded figure )

Price of gold Troy ounce closing November 18, 2011; $ 1 724,80 (dollars)

1 Troy ounce = 31.1034768 g

So, 787 g x [(1 oz)/(31.10 g)] x 1 724.80 $/oz = $43,600.

How much is a gold nickel worth?

There's no such thing as a gold nickel. It's plated. In general, the plating would destroy any collectible value the coin had so it would only be worth 5 cents. The major exception to that rule would be if the coin is an 1883 nickel with a large V on the back but without the words CENTS below the V. When these coins were first issued criminals took advantage of the missing wording by gold-plating them and passing them as a "new design" 5 dollar coin. They're known as "racketeer nickels" and can have considerable value to collectors. There's more information at the Related Question. If you think about it for a couple of seconds, a real gold nickel would be totally impractical. Even back in the days when the price of gold was controlled, it was about 70¢ a gram. That means that a gold nickel would have been about the diameter of a pencil eraser. Today the price of gold is well above $1000 an ounce, so 5 cents' worth would be so tiny you'd need a microscope to find it!
