World Gold Coin Melt Values & Identification

Compare reviewed international gold coins by denomination, design and composition. Match the correct variant before calculating metal content.

When a fresh spot bid is available, melt values use fine-metal content × spot bid. CashForCoins guide buying offers use the separately configured percentage for each metal. Selected rare/numismatic coins require an appraisal. Dollar amounts remain unavailable when a fresh quote or buying percentage is missing.
