ounce, one-quarter ounce, one-tenth
ounce, and a four-coin set that contains
one coin of each denomination. In
accordance with 31 U.S.C. 9701(b)(2)(B),
the United States Mint is changing the
price of these coins to reflect the
increase in value of the underlying
precious metal content of the coins—the
result of recent increases in the market
price of gold. The price of gold has
increased substantially from the time
the United States Mint last set prices for
gold proof coins. Accordingly, effective
May 22, 2006, the United States Mint
will commence selling these coins
according to the following price
schedule: One-ounce gold proof coin
($885.00), one-half ounce gold proof
coin ($445.00), one-quarter ounce gold
proof coin ($220.00), one-tenth ounce
gold proof coin ($110.00), four-coin gold
proof set ($1,575.00). Prices are subject
to change again based on future
fluctuations in the market price of gold.
