Coin Knowledge

One exciting fact about gold coins is that they often have a rich history and can tell fascinating stories why and for what purpose they have been minted. For example, some gold coins were used as currency during important periods, such as the California Gold Rush or the Roman Empire. Additionally, gold coins are often appreciated for their unique designs, which can feature artwork, leaders or historical events. The unique combination of history, artistry, and valuable precious metals are making gold coins an exciting topic.

What makes a coin valuable?

A coin’s value is based on different factors, such as rarity, condition, age or current collectors demand.  From all value-building facts, rarity is  the most important factor when appraising a coin’s value. The second highest price booster is a coin’s condition. For instance, the book value of an 1895-S Morgan Dollar silver coin is approximately $3,300 graded AU58 but $90,000+ graded MS66. Coins in better condition are always worth more than coins in worse condition.

Antique coins, silver coins, and a gold coin

The age of a coin is probably one of the most overrated price-factors. We receive numerous appraisal inquiries related to extremely old coins along with extremely high price expectations. We understand that the owner of a coin, who has no coin-collection experience, may assume that a 500+ year old silver coin from Europe is worth a lot of money. Unfortunately, that’s generally not the case. You can buy really nice silver coins from the middle ages, sometimes even graded ones, for less than 50 dollars.

Last but not least, the metal of a coin can really drive the price:

One ounce of gold is currently worth $2232.13, an ounce of palladium $1047.88, an ounce of platium $927.34 but an ounce of silver is only $23.10 worth. Take this value-comparison into consideration when you research the value of a coin.

Finally, the provenience of a coin may significantly impact the value of a coin. Provenance is the documented history of a coin, a painting, a watch or other historically interesting artifacts. Provenance is important because it can help demonstrate authenticity and provide information about who owned or commissioned a certain coin in the past. A coin with a long and notable provenance can often be significantly more valuable than a coin without notable provenance. A coin with an appealing provenance (take George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Regan or Martin Luther King Jr. for instance) has greater appeal to potential buyers as it can provide a connection to the coin’s past owner.
