US gold coins struck before the 1933 recall: Liberty Head and Indian Head eagles, Saint-Gaudens double eagles and smaller denominations. They carry both gold and collector value.
Ending soonest in gold
US gold struck before the 1933 recall, when most of it was melted. Survivors carry both bullion and numismatic value, and common-date pieces are an accessible way into the series.
A single grade point can double what a coin is worth. Listings certified by PCGS or NGC state the grade on the holder; ungraded coins rely on the seller's description.
Key dates and branch mintmarks are where the value sits. The same series can be common in one year and genuinely scarce in the next.
Ask for photographs of the coin itself. Toning, cleaning and hairlines all affect value and are hard to judge from a single catalogue-style image.
Pricing, payment, shipping and disputes
Sellers set their own prices. Many price directly off the live gold spot price with a fixed premium or discount, so their listings move with the market; others set a flat price. The live spot price used across the site is shown at the top of this page.
The coin has been authenticated and assigned a condition grade by a third-party service such as PCGS or NGC, then sealed in a tamper-evident holder. Graded coins cost more but remove most of the risk around authenticity and condition.
Yes, on any listing where the seller has enabled offers. Send your offer from the listing page and the seller can accept, decline or counter. Some sellers also run auctions, where you bid instead.
Every order is covered by PeerMetals buyer protection, and funds are only released to the seller after delivery. Each seller shows Metal Points and a rating built from their completed order history, so you can see their track record before you buy.
Shipping is set per seller and shown on every listing before checkout — many offer free shipping, marked with a badge on the card. Buying several items from one seller lets you request combined shipping.
Bank transfer (ACH), card, digital wallets including Link, Cash App and Amazon Pay, and crypto. Bank transfer carries the lowest processing fee — 0.8%, capped at $5 per order — which is why prices are shown at the bank-transfer total.
Open a case from your order in the resolution centre. The seller is notified and PeerMetals support reviews the tracking and photographs, so a payment can be held while it is sorted out rather than released on delivery.
Yes. Add them to your cart and ask the seller about combined shipping — most will merge the parcels into one label, so you pay postage once rather than per item.
How to buy and what moves the price
Gold went from a legally fixed $35/oz to a freely floating price only in 1971 -- and has since crossed $1,000, then $2,000, then more than doubled again since 2023. The full arc, milestone by milestone, sourced to Macrotrends' 100-year gold price dataset.
