On Wednesday, Sept. 27, the United States Mint may reduce prices on 25 numismatic gold products.
The U.S. Mint’s collections of gold coins have prices that can change weekly depending on the trending value of gold as compared against this pricing matrix. The Mint most recently raised prices on Sept. 6 when gold’s weekly average jumped above $1,300 an ounce. The precious metal has ended below that mark several times since a week ago, opening the possibility of lower coin prices.
If Wednesday’s LBMA gold price for the AM is under $1,322.96 an ounce and the fixing for the PM is below $1,300.00 an ounce, then prices of U.S. gold coins will drop by as much as $50 for every ounce of the precious metal they contain.
The following table summarizes the U.S. Mint’s current and possible gold coin prices.
