On this page we will explain the actual gold weight (AGW),  and the actual silver weights (ASW) for coins from around the world. Many times bullion coins will have different gold and silver content. Not every bullion coin is exactly 1 Troy Ounce or 31.1 grams. We decided to put this list together to help our customers understand exactly what they have and put all this information in one place. Since we are located in the United States we will start with U.S. Bullion.

Modern American Gold Bullion

American Gold Eagles

American Gold Eagles are made in 22k gold to make the coins stronger and less scratch resistant. While the coins are not pure gold they weigh more than a pure gold coin to make up for the copper added to them to strengththen the coins. A troy ounce which is the world standard for gold bullion is 31.1 grams.
