Conclusion

That’s pretty much it. If you inherited gold coins Great! Something worth noting is that the spot price of gold fluctuates from day to day and a lot of gold coins are merely that (gold coins) and only worth only their weight in gold at the time. However, their are a number of gold coins that can have a significant numismatic value which means it could be worth a great deal more than the current gold value (same goes for the above mentioned items too).

Inherited silver coins are the same way. A lot of coins (including foreign coins) from the mid 60’s and earlier may have a percentage of silver in them. US coins from that time period are generally referred to as junk silver coins and have 90% silver but no collectible values per say.  Some are very collectible and some are not, It all depends on the condition of the coins and when & where it was minted etc. But, that’s what we’re here for right? 😉
