Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ Coin Resources includes resources beyond information on U.S. coins. The Modern Bullion Melt Value Calculator provides users a simple way to determine the precious metal/melt value of modern bullion coins or bars. Users can plug the number of coins/bars of a given type they have into the calculators, which will give them a melt value in dollars based on the current spot price of gold.
The different calculators, all under the heading of the Modern Bullion Melt Value Calculator, are organized by issuing nation or refinery, with quick links to different countries. Brief narratives outlining the history of each country’s/refinery’s bullion coin/bar programs and the fineness and gold weight of each issue are included. The spot price of gold on which the calculator’s results are based is included, as is a chart showing historic gold prices. High quality photos with each calculator help with identification.
Each country’s/refinery’s calculator includes a brief description of the bullion coins produced by that country/refinery. The CRC includes melt value calculators for Generic Pre-1933 Gold and Silver Bullion, too.
