Expect the United States Mint to raise prices Wednesday, Oct. 14, on nearly two dozen collectible gold coins.
Current U.S. Mint pricing is based on a weekly average of London gold that’s within the range of $1,100.00 to $1,149.99 an ounce. Gold prices this week have marked more than three-month highs, pulling the average up and into a coin pricing tier that’s $50 higher.
Update: As expected, the Mint increased prices Wednesday. The new prices are shown in the ‘To’ column further below.
Gold at this writing is trading above $1,166 an ounce. If Wednesday’s LBMA PM gold price remains atop $1,150 an ounce, expect the following increases in coin prices:
