US Mint Gold Coin Prices to Rise
Unless gold prices find and then fall off the world's highest cliff on Wednesday, the US Mint will raise Ultra High Relief Double Eagles and First Spouse Gold Coin prices by $50 and $25, respectively.
US Mint collector gold coin prices are subject to change weekly based on the US Mint's pricing policy which links the market price of gold to the selling price for the precious metal coins.
The last gold coin price increases occurred on Sept. 2 when the gold average topped $950 an ounce. While Wednesday gold prices must still be taken into account, the prior 4 day gold average stands at $1,011.38 an ounce, with many days well above the $1,000 threshold which automatically triggers a new round of higher coin prices.
