US Gold Coins

US Gold Coins were issued by the United States Government. They are considered “Numismatic”. In other words, ‘rare’ coins that collectors deem, for various reasons, to be worth more than their gold content. However, when they have been very worn or damaged they are considered “Junk” gold, because they have no collector value, only value as raw gold.
