A common misconception is that all gold coins are composed of 24 karat gold. The reality is that most gold coins are 21.6 karat (90%) or 22 karat (91.6%) gold; although, the U.S. Mint has produced one gold coin that is 24 karat (99.99%) gold. It should be noted that most U.S. commemorative gold coins and gold bullion coins minted prior to 1934 contain 90% gold.
One ounce gold coins are the most widely minted coins in the U.S. Other common denominations include half ounce, quarter ounce, tenth ounce, and twentieth ounce gold coins.
These are some of the most common gold coins we buy and sell every day in Nashville
