Prices of United States Mint gold coins may increase tomorrow, June 11, one week after they dropped by $50 per ounce of precious metal content.
Wednesdays are when the U.S. Mint averages gold prices to check whether it should reduce or raise prices on its numismatic gold coins. According to the Mint’s pricing policy and based on a slightly improving gold market, chances are stronger for hikes across 17 gold products in amounts ranging from $5 to $92.50.
Coin News Update: The U.S. Mint increased coin prices on Wednesday. New prices are listed in the "To" column further below.
Current prices for the bureau’s gold coins are based on a London Fix weekly average that is within a range of $1,200.00 to $1,249.99 an ounce. London gold fixings from June 5 to June 10 average $1,252.53 an ounce. The yellow metal has popped up $6 on the day, and is now trading near $1,260 an ounce.
