<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25346101, member: 101855&quot;]I can&#039;t give you prices on those American sovereign pieces these days. The demand for gold is up, but sometimes the numismatic value gets swallowed by the melt value of the coin to the point where the value isn&#039;t much over melt. That&#039;s what is happening to lower graded U.S. 10 and 20 gold pieces these days.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for mintages, there were 91,210 of the four sovereign pieces stuck. They contain .941 of an ounce of pure gold. The one sovereign mintage was 121,364. They contained .2354 ounces of pure gold. Despite the mintages, I think that the smaller piece is scarcer because of melting. </p><p><br /></p><p>A great many of these pieces were melted. I have understood that the Saudis sold a lot of them in India because they could get high prices for them there. There are also lots of counterfeits, so watch your step.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
