Value

The market value of the coins is generally about equal to the market value of their gold content, not their face value. As of July 2010 the $5, $10, $25, and $50 coins by face value are worth and sell for about $145, $325, $650, and $1,250 USD respectively. The face values are proportional to the weights except for the 1/4 oz coin, which would then be $12.50. Their actual selling prices vary daily based on the current spot price of gold. The United States Mint also produces a proof version for coin collectors. These coins are produced at the West Point Mint in West Point, New York and carry the mint’s mark (“W”) beneath the date.
