The United States Mint on Wednesday, June 13, could trim prices on its suite of numismatic gold coins. A mere 10 cents prevented cuts last week while 70 cents drove prices higher two weeks ago. Just a few cents change in gold prices may again dictate where the U.S. Mint’s prices are by late Wednesday.
The Mint’s collection of numismatic 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 prices are based on an average of gold that is within $1,300 to $1,349.99 an ounce. Gold has hovered very near $1,300 an ounce for four straight weeks, and is currently trading just below $1,297 an ounce.
If Wednesday’s LBMA gold price for the PM remains below $1,300 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.
