Should the next gold commemorative coin be 1/5 oz and $4 face value??

Would be kinda cool and a little less expensive.............

    I'm confused... We already have a 1/10th oz with a face of $5.

    So wouldn't the next one be either 1/3rd oz with a Face of $15, or a 1/20th oz with a $2.50 face image

    Committees don't do anything cool.

    Back when the SF commems were being discussed, there was talk of a $0.20 piece, most responses to it (here anyway) were positive. did it happen? Nooooooooooooo.

    Sure and it should be about the size of this"." grading to be done with a electron microscope.

    Most recent gold commemoratives have been just under .25 oz of gold with face value of $5 like classic half eagles.

    A 0.20 oz gold coin would be smaller than the 1/4 oz gold eagle or modern gold commemoratives but significantly larger than the 1/10 z gold eagle.

    That is what they should have done with the first spouse coins.

    I think he means a $4 gold Stella configuration coin or 0.2065 troy ounces AGW.

    That is true though, if the ratio of face value to gold value stays at a constant ratio a 20 cent gold piece would have .004 ounces of a gold...
