On Wednesday, July 22, there’s a very good chance that the United States Mint will lower prices on more than two dozen collectible gold coins.
Current U.S. Mint pricing is based on a weekly average of London gold that’s within the range of $1,150 to $1,199.99 an ounce. Gold has tumbled to a more than five-year low in recent days, pulling the average down and into a coin pricing tier that is $50 lower.
Update: Gold coin prices were reduced, although much later than usual on Wednesday. The new prices are listed in the "To column" further below.
Gold at this writing is trading near $1,108 an ounce. If Wednesday’s London PM gold price remains below $1,150 an ounce, expect the following reduced coin prices:

| 2015-W Proof Gold Buffalo Coin (1 oz) | $1,540.00 | $1,490.00 |

The U.S. Mint has made eight prior pricing adjustments this year, raising them four times and dropping them four times. The most recent instance was a lowering of prices on May 27.
If the weekly average of gold remains within $1,100.00 to $1,149.99 an ounce through next week, the highly-anticipated 2015-W $100 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin will be priced at $1,540 when it launches at noon EDT on July 30. (See its pricing grid.)
When called for, pricing changes on Wednesdays have tended to happen around 2:00 PM ET. This article will get updated with what actually happens.
