About this coin’s value
The 25 Dollars "American Gold Eagle" (Bullion Coinage) contains 0.5002 troy ounces of silver (91.7% fine, 16.966 g gross). Its melt value above is that metal content multiplied by the live spot price — the floor any dealer offer should be judged against. Collector value for better dates, mint marks and grades comes on top of melt, so check before selling scarce coins as bullion.
To value a whole stack at once, use the US Silver Coin Calculator. The formula behind the number is explained in how to calculate silver melt value, and where to sell covers what buyers actually pay against melt.
