Gold Coin Melt Value
Melting gold coins is a very common process in the United States. There are billions of dollars’ worth of coins in circulation, and countless coins change hands every day.

This is unfortunate, because there is a big market for old or unwanted gold coins. Moreover, melting destroys the historical value. The gold coin melt value is an important figure for understanding how much a damaged gold coin is worth, but it should not mean that a prospective coin buyer melts the coin down.
