Details
Very popular one ounce bullion gold coin. The majority of these were struck at the West Point Mint facility without a mint mark on the coin. In rare cases, the other mints located in Philadelphia, Denver or San Francisco can be used to strike coins, but they are indistinguishable from the West Point strikings.
This coin is made of 91.67% gold; 3% silver; 5.33% copper and has a current melt value of $5,154.00
