Gold Coin Bullion Values, 1700-2012: A Guide to the Intrinsic Worth of World Gold Coinage

This is a guide for people who buy and sell gold coins—on eBay, on other Internet websites, at coin shows or coin stores, or elsewhere. It is intended for those who buy or sell coins based on their investment value, rather than their design or scarcity. This book displays the bullion value of gold coins for every world nation and year of origin between 1700 and 2012. An alphabetical listings of countries and denominations (and sometimes a simple addition), shows the base value of any common gold coin. This is vital information, because many current coin guides have not recalculated bullion values, and continue to estimate coin value based on gold prices from a time when it was worth only a fraction of today's value.
