<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1086752, member: 17919&quot;]22K is NOT the same as .900 fine. It&#039;s like saying that pre-64 US quarters are made of Sterling silver. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you have 2 gold coins that both weigh 1 ounce, but one is .900 fine and the other is 22K, the .900 coin contains 9/10 of an ounce of gold, worth approximately $1214 today. The 22K coin, on the other hand, contains 917/1000 ounce of gold (22/24), with a spot value today of approximately $1237, or $23 more than the .900 fine coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>US gold Eagle bullion coins are 22K (.917). Old US gold coins are usually .900 fine. They are NOT the same fineness.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t let anyone tell you that .900 fine is the same as 22K-- it isn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
