Buyers Guide: How the Numismatic Value is Determined for U.S. Minted Coins

Numismatic Coins retrieve their value by numerous factors, such as, the method of production, the number of coins minted and still available in circulation today, the historical value behind the piece, the varieties of the coins issued, the mint-made production errors, and of course the market value of the metals inside.

From the mid-17th Century, coins were produced by machine in a method called ?striking? and only a certain number of coins were produced in each strike. The number of coins still available in circulation is one of the most important aspects when determining a coin?s rarity.

The Three Main Categories of U.S. Mint Gold Coins

? Vintage

These are pre-1933 Gold, Silver or other precious metals Coins which are higher in value when compared to the daily commodities spot pricing of modern Gold bullion coins due to the actual age of the coins

? Modern U.S. Minted

These Gold, Silver or other precious metals Coins, like the most popular choices, Liberty Gold Head, Gold American Eagles, the Morgan Dollar, American Silver Eagles and the American Gold Buffalo, these are considered Gold or Silver ?bullion? coins due to their raw value in Gold or Silver, or other precious metals, making these coins the ideal Investment choice. Of course, the beautifully elegant designs displayed in Brilliant Gold or Silver make them collector favorites!

? Commemorative Issue

Commemorative Coins are issued in various metals such as Gold and Silver. They Minted only once with a limited number in circulation. This is done purposefully, in order to celebrate or honor a significant event in American History. Over time, their numismatic value can increase based on, collector demand, uniqueness, and the current spot pricing market value. These coins are not, nor ever, issued as a means of general legal tender however, although it?s not recommended, they ?can? still be used as such.
