Best Answer

1933 and earlier gold coins are 90% precious metal. In average condition their retail value is determined by the current price of gold; a metal dealer will pay less.

Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the eagle. It may be blank or there may be an S.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 07/2012:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $1,860

Moderately worn - $1,880

Slightly worn - $1,900

Almost no wear - $1,934

Uncirculated - $1,980 to $20,930 depending on quality

"S" mint mark (San Francisco):

Very worn - $1,860

Moderately worn - $1,880

Slightly worn - $1,900

Almost no wear - $1,934

Uncirculated - $1,980 to $22,280

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
