<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 329547, member: 4626&quot;]Well $10 gold coins contain almost 1/2 an ounce (.48735 oz.).&nbsp; Gold eagles contained this as did the two modern $10 gold commemoratives (1984 Olympic and 2003 Wright Brothers, to date the only 2 modern gold eagle commemoratives).&nbsp; Not to be confused with the 1/4 ounce American Gold Eagle coins which also have a face value of $10.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the case of the commemoratives the nominal face value is pretty much traditional... these are the face values coins with these specifications have tradionally had, often since the denominations were ever minted.</p><p><br /></p><p>For bullion coins the nominal face values are pretty much there just as an excuse to call them coins rather than medals... you wouldn&#039;t think it would matter much, but that&#039;s a big part of the reason they sell, for both coin collectors and bullion investors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
