Question by carla: What is a 1892 gold coin (double eagle) worth?
I have a 1892 gold coin and i want to know how much it is worth. it has been circulated however is in good condition.

Best answer:

Answer by liberty 911
The coin may have a mint mark below the eagle's tail feathers: S (San Francisco), CC (Carson City), or plain (Philadelphia). If you have an authentic coin, it would be worth over 00 even if it is circulated. I recommend getting it certified by one of the major coin grading services (i.e.: PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc.). The gold would be worth 0 or so. I hope that helps.

Question by eroskcus: Can someone help me with identifying a coin?
This coin is from 1895. It has no writings on it except a "20" in the middle and the year under that. On the obverse site there is a double-headed eagle holding a sward and a round sceptre with a cross on top of it. No country name, no currency name -- nothing. Very weird...

Best answer:

Answer by Cole S
If there isn't a country name or a currency name, it probably isn't a coin. It's either a token or medal. If you want to find out more, try the Standard Catalog of World Coins by Colin R. Bruce II if it is a foreign coin. There are also specific books for tokens and medals. It might be Russian since it has the double-headed eagle.

Question by OK: How much would this gold coin sell for? It's made in 1904 and it says "twenty dollars". Is it worth more now?
On the front it has a head with "Liberty" on the person's crown. There are 13 stars going around the coin.

On the back it "United States of America Twenty Dollars" with "in god we trust"...

I don't know what it's called it's just a 20 dollar coin made in 1904! my grandad gave it to me. how much would it be worth now?

Answer by Jerry
Assuming that the coin is genuine, it is worth a lot more. Compare it to the coins shown in the link below (navigate using the large arrows). That will give you a rough idea of condition.

Based on gold content alone, it is worth at least 00. If it is in near-perfect condition, possibly more.

Do not rub the coin. Only handle it by the edges. Never clean a coin as it destroys value.

Question by H.A.S.: Chemistry question...could someone please help me & explain your work so I can follow you!?
Hi--I am really struggling with this. Could someone please help me & explain your work so I can follow you?? Thanks to all.

In 1933, the United States went off the international gold standard, and the price of gold increased from .00 to .00/troy oz. The twenty-dollar gold piece, known as the double eagle, weighed 33.436 g and was 90.0% gold by mass. (a) What was the value of the gold in the double eagle before and after the price change? (b) How many coins could be made from 50.0 troy oz of gold? (c) How many coins could be made from 2.00in^3 of gold (1 troy oz=31.1 g; d of gold = 19.3 g/cm^3)?

Best answer:

Answer by Ted
a) 90% of the coin is gold so 90% of 33.436=30.0924 g of gold

To find the value you must divide by 31.1g to change it to troy oz of gold, 30.0924/31.1=0.968 troy oz of gold

at per oz = 0.968 x 20=.36
at per oz = 0.986 x 35 =

b) each coin contains 0.968 troy oz of gold, so divide 50 by 0.968 to find out how many coins you can make =51.65 So you can make 51 coins with a little gold left over.

c) There are 2.5 cm per inch. so 2.00in^3 = 2.00(2.5cm)^3=31.25cm^3

Multiply by 19.3g/cm^3 to find mass of gold = 603.125 g
In a) we found that each coin contains 30.0924g so divide the 603 by the 30.09 to find how many coins you can make. 20 coins.

Question by Adamantium: How can we be sure the Bible has not been changed?
“In the number of ancient MSS. [manuscripts] attesting a writing, and in the number of years that had elapsed between the original and the attesting MSS., the Bible enjoys a decided advantage over classical writings [those of Homer, Plato, and others]. . . . Altogether classical MSS. are but a handful compared with Biblical. No ancient book is so well attested as the Bible.”—The Bible From the Beginning (New York, 1929), P. Marion Simms, pp. 74, 76.

A report published in 1971 shows that there are possibly 6,000 handwritten copies containing all or part of the Hebrew Scriptures; the oldest dates back to the third century B.C.E. Of the Christian Greek Scriptures, there are some 5,000 in Greek, the oldest dating back to the beginning of the second century C.E. There are also many copies of early translations into other languages.

In the introduction to his seven volumes on The Chester Beatty Biblical Papyri, Sir Frederic Kenyon wrote: “The first and most important conclusion derived from the examination of them [the papyri] is the satisfactory one that they confirm the essential soundness of the existing texts. No striking or fundamental variation is shown either in the Old or the New Testament. There are no important omissions or additions of passages, and no variations which affect vital facts or doctrines. The variations of text affect minor matters, such as the order of words or the precise words used . . . But their essential importance is their confirmation, by evidence of an earlier date than was hitherto available, of the integrity of our existing texts.”—(London, 1933), p. 15.

It is true that some translations of the Bible adhere more closely to what is in the original languages than others do. Modern paraphrase Bibles have taken liberties that at times alter the original meaning. Some translators have allowed personal beliefs to color their renderings. But these weaknesses can be identified by comparison of a variety of translations.

It has been changed.

The Septuagint was changed due to the fact that Methuselah lived through the flood, dying 14 years after the event. Since he wasn't on the ark, St. Jerome had the text revised, producing the Vulgate.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to sell a few coins for my dad to help with the bills, and I've checked a few websites, but I figured I would hand the question over to the Yahoo community.

What kind of price can I sell this coin for?

Where is a good place to sell it?

Here are some pictures of the exact same coin on the front, but without the case I have.

Question by Prashant K: Can someone help with this chemistry problem?
In 1933, the US went off the international gold standard, and the price of gold increased from to / troy oz. The gold-piece known as the double eagle weighed 33.436 g and was 90% gold by mass.
a) What was the value of the gold in the double-eagle before and after the price change?
b) How many coins could be made from 50 troy oz of gold?

Best answer:

Answer by m w
1 troy ounce = 31.103 g

*** a ***

1 coin x (33.436 g alloy / 1 coin) x (0.90 g gold / 1 g alloy) x (1 troy ounce gold / 31.103 g gold) x ( / 1 troy ounce) = .35

1 coin x (33.436 g alloy / 1 coin) x (0.90 g gold / 1 g alloy) x (1 troy ounce gold / 31.103 g gold) x ( / 1 troy ounce) = .86

*** b ***

50 troy ounce gold x (31.103 g gold / 1 troy ounce gold) x (1 g alloy / 0.90 g gold) x ( 1 coin / 33.436 g alloy) = 51.7

so you could make 51 coins with a bit left over
