    And no this isn’t a trick question, as there
    are a few different ones, there’s 24K .9999
    22K .999 ( both have the same price point
    so value is the same 1 OZ of gold, but what
    about the sovereign coins looked at a couple today and they were .900, so not
    sure on value across that range, really not
    that familiar with sovereigns.

    The melt value will be worth .9 x weight coin/ 31.1

    Double Eagle 33.4gx.9 = 30.6g
    30.6g/31.1g = .97 oz gold
    .97 x Spot = melt value

    Is Spot = Melt Value?

    Lately Gold Sovereigns have been selling very well. Many times selling as if they were 24k and they're only 22k.

    Yes, this is another area that shows us that the world of PM's has changed. Never before have I ever come across Gold Sovereigns selling for such high prices. thumbupp.gif

    You simply have to do the math to figure out what percentage is pure gold.

    NGC has a world coin search.

    Historically .999 sells for a premium, all things considered. The reason is when its melted its a better raw material, easier to lower purity than raise it.

    The market today is anything but normal though.

    You got that right, everything is double even
    triple normal premiums, the question is how long is it going to last ? at this point it’s anybody’s best guess.
