Stated fine-gold content × current spotSpecification and intent
Fine gold is not the Eagle's gross coin weight
The U.S. Mint specifies four fine-gold denominations. Because Eagle coins are 22-karat alloy, gross mass is higher than the gold content; the spot calculation uses only the stated fine troy ounces.
