U.S. Gold Coins
A common misconception is that gold coins are composed of 24 karat gold. The reality is that most gold coins are 21.6 karat (90%) or 22 karat (91.6%) gold; although, the U.S. Mint has produced one gold coin that is 24 karat (99.99%) gold. It should be noted that most U.S. commemorative gold coins and gold bullion coins minted prior to 1934 contain 90% gold.
One ounce gold coins are the most widely minted coins in the U.S. Other common denominations include half ounce, quarter ounce, tenth ounce, and twentieth ounce gold coins. Here are some of the coins that we see in our day to day dealings:

The American Buffalo, or Gold Buffalo, are the first .999 or 24K gold coins minted by the United States Government for the public. They were first produced in 2006, and are available in various denominations, including 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 troy ounce.
The coin’s design is based on the 1913 nickel coin known as the “Buffalo Nickel” or “Indian Head Nickel”. The most common of the Buffalo American gold coins is the one troy ounce variety, which has a legal value of $50, but as is the case with all gold coins, is valued based on the current spot price of gold and collector demand.
