Chart comparing precious metal coins/vs. fiat

Jaredc

I found this chart (which I cut out from an old mag, I think it was from coinage).

Coin / metal content value / discount metal value vs. face value or
premium face vs. metal value


St Gauden $20 / $266 / 1230% discount

$50 GAE / $275 / 450% discount

$100 97 plat. / $500 / 400% discount

$1 SAE / $5 / 400% discount

$1 Peace / $3.87 / 287% discount

.50 1964 / $1.81 / 262% discount

.25 1964 / $.90 / 262% discount

.10 1964 /$.36 / 262% discount

.10 1965 /$.0058 / 1624% premium

.25 1965 /$.0145 / 1624% premium

$1 SBA /$.0228 /4286% premium

$1 Sac /$.0196 /5002% premium


Sorry if the chart is a bit difficult to look at. I did not include the ikes (1264% premium) and the 50 cent clads and pennies (whose premium increased in 82' signinficantly) but I think this small sample is a good representation.


note: 2000 bullion prices, but there isnt that much difference.
