Most Valuable US Gold Coins - Highest Value Gold Coins

USA Coin Book has compiled a list of the most valuable US gold coins ever known. For this list, we are including all one-dollar coins: Gold Dollars, $2.50 Gold Quarter Eagles, $3 Gold Coins, $4 Gold Coins (Stella), $5 Gold Half Eagles, $10 Gold Eagles and $20 Gold Double Eagles. In addition, we are NOT factoring in the prices for Proof versions of these gold coins (unless the Proof version is an error coin or an unusual variety). We are using our database of virtually every US coin ever produced (6,000+ coins) based on year, mint mark, major varieties, errors and their associated price values to come up with a list of the top most valuable gold coins known. Our most valuable gold coins list includes the classic gold coins starting in 1795 up until 1933 when America abandoned the gold standard - including rare gold coin errors and rare varieties. This list does not include the modern, post-1986 gold bullion coins. This list and the prices are current as of 2024. Estimated coin prices and values in our database are updated twice per year.

The purpose of this page is to provide coin valuation data to collectors, investors, the media, and anyone interested learning what the most valuable gold coins are. Visitors can click on the links in the list below to view larger images of both sides of the coins (mint mark locations, error/variety diagnosis, etc), detailed pricing data for various conditions/grades of the coins, mintage figures, metal composition, history and other encyclopedic information regarding each individual coin.
