Gold Coin Melt Value Calculator
A bullion coin's melt value is the gold inside it: the coin's pure-gold content in troy ounces times the current spot price. It is the floor under the price — what the metal alone is worth before any dealer premium. Pick a coin, enter the spot price you see quoted right now, and you get the melt value. The gold-content figures come straight from each issuing mint's published specifications.
Calculate melt value
Melt value only. This is the metal value, not what a dealer will pay or charge. Dealers buy under spot and sell over it, and proof or rare coins can be worth far more than melt.
Melt value matters most for common bullion coins, where the price tracks gold content closely. A one-ounce Eagle, Krugerrand, Maple Leaf, Buffalo, Britannia, or Philharmonic each holds exactly one troy ounce of pure gold, so at the same spot price they have the same melt value — the 22-karat coins just weigh a little more overall because of their alloy. For how premiums, condition, and grading move a coin above melt, see our gold coin value guide, and check what you would actually pay over spot with the premium calculator.
Estimate only — not financial advice. This calculator runs entirely in your browser, stores nothing, sets no cookies, and makes no external calls. It does not fetch a live gold price — every result is based on the spot price and figures YOU enter, and on each coin's published gold content. Gold prices are volatile and can fall as well as rise; dealer premiums, bid/ask spreads, condition, and any numismatic value are not reflected here. Confirm every number with a reputable dealer and live market data, and consult a licensed professional before buying, selling, or making a tax decision. Editorial terms & risk disclosure.
