About this coin’s value

The 1 Dollar (Lewis and Clark) contains 0.0484 troy ounces of gold (90.0% fine, 1.672 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 Gold Coin Calculator. The formula behind the number is explained in our pre-1933 US gold guide, and where to sell covers what buyers actually pay against melt.
