FAQs
What is 1/4 of an ounce of gold worth?
The value of a 1/4 oz gold product is based on the current gold spot price, multiplied by 0.25, plus a dealer premium. Dealers add this premium above the spot price to cover costs such as manufacturing, transportation, distribution, and general business operations.
What is the purity of a 1/4 gold eagle?
The American Gold Eagle is struck in 22-karat gold, which is a fineness of .9167. However, the U.S. Mint ensures the coin contains exactly 1/4 troy ounce of pure gold; the remaining weight consists of silver and copper to increase the coin's durability.
How much gold is in a quarter eagle?
A 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle contains exactly 0.25 troy ounces of pure gold. Because it is alloyed for durability, the total weight of the coin is slightly more than 1/4 ounce, but the gold content is guaranteed.
Are 1/4 oz gold coins worth buying?
1/4 oz gold coins are popular because they offer a more affordable entry point into gold ownership compared to full 1 oz coins. They provide greater divisibility for those who may want to sell their gold in smaller increments in the future.
