Question
hi i have just bought a 1980 british virgin islands gold proof 25 dollar gold coin still in packaging was just wondering wat the gold weight was and how much it may be thnx
Hi Ken, There were 11,000 of these Proof $25 coins struck at the Franklin Mint that year featuring Queen Elizabeth II (1952-) and an osprey. It is 50% gold and contains .0241 of an ounce of gold.
Current gold and silver values: http://www.kitco.com/market/ .
Collector value may be about $40.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
