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.
