Expert Buyer for All Known 21.6 Karat (.900 Fine) Gold Coins

Whether you inherited a $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle or have a collection of Latin Monetary Union 20 Franc pieces, these coins are a prime source of pure gold.

21.6 Karat (90% Fine) Gold Coins Defined:

The 21.6K standard means the coin is composed of 90% pure gold and 10% alloy (typically copper). This standard was chosen historically for circulating currency as it provided excellent durability while maintaining high gold content. These coins are often referred to as .900 fine and are highly sought after by collectors and investors alike.

At 401Gold, we specialize in accurate testing and high payouts for the following major 90% gold coin series:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Selling 90% Gold Coins

  • Q: What is the difference between 21.6K and 22K gold?
    • A: 21.6 Karat is exactly 90.0% pure gold (e.g., U.S. and LMU circulating coins). 22 Karat is 91.67% pure gold (e.g., modern bullion like the Krugerrand or American Gold Eagle). We accurately test for both and pay the corresponding higher price for the 22K if applicable, or the high rate for your 21.6K coin.
  • Q: Do you buy damaged or circulated 90% gold coins?
    • A: Absolutely. While numismatic (collector) value depends on condition, as a refiner and bullion buyer, we are primarily interested in the intrinsic gold content. A coin's melt value (which we base our price on) remains the same regardless of its condition. Sell Bullion Near Me is our specialty.
  • Q: How can I ensure I'm getting the highest payout?
    • A: The only way is to compare the offer to the current live spot price of gold. We eliminate the need for comparison shopping by showing you our highly competitive, real-time rates directly. This is the foundation of our Trust Through Transparency slogan.
