A Look at the Most Valuable Gold Coins

Gold has been considered a valuable commodity since the emergence of organized civilization thousands of years ago. While gold’s monetary worth is generally determined by its weight and purity, the value of some rare coins surpasses that of heavier and purer forms of gold by leaps and bounds.

Due to the fact that a limited number of them survived the gold ownership ban instated under FDR’s reign as president, 1930 and 1933 Indian Head Gold Eagle coins that are in good condition can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Three other gold coins, however, are worth even more. The Queen Elizabeth II gold coin weighs a whopping 220 pounds. The Rare Edward III, of which there are only three, has sold for nearly $7 million. The Brasher Doubloon EB on Wing, a beautiful gold coin made by a respected goldsmith in 1787, is extremely valuable because of its age and rarity.
