On Wednesday, July 18, the United States Mint may cut prices on one and one-half dozen numismatic gold products.
The U.S. Mint’s collection of gold coins have prices that can change weekly based on the trending value of gold as compared against its 2018 pricing matrix. The agency’s current coin prices are based on an average of gold that is within $1,250 to $1,299.99 an ounce. The precious metal has stumbled to a one-year low and is now trading near $1,228 an ounce.
If Wednesday’s LBMA gold price for the PM is under $1,250 an ounce, then prices of U.S. numismatic gold coins will drop by as much as $50 for every ounce of the precious metal they contain.
The following table summarizes the U.S. Mint’s current and possible gold coin pricing.

With silver hitting an about 1 year low today, it is way past time for the Mint to lower its high silver coin/sets with silver coins & medals prices. But, as silver was going down, the Mint raised its silver products prices this year instead! Crazy stuff.
