Retreating gold may result in lower prices Wednesday for numismatic gold coins sold by the United States Mint.
U.S. Mint gold coin prices were last adjusted on October 24, 2012 when the weekly average for London gold dropped to between $1,700.00 and $1,749.99 an ounce. The yellow metal’s average is now tracking well within a lower range of $1,650.00 to $1,699.99 an ounce, which calls for lower prices in gold coins.
That will happen if the London AM Fix price on Wednesday is lower than $1,740.45 an ounce and the PM fixing is under $1,700 an ounce. Gold is hanging around $1,675 an ounce as of this writing.
