how does the mint determine the dollar denomination of bullion coin values?
If bullion coins did not have a denomination they would be considered in the world community a token or medal. One of the definitions of a coin, is it has to have a denomination. The dollar was picked for the silver eagle, for though larger than a Morgan or Peace dollar and with .999 silver instead of .900, they can be considered relatives. As for the gold, it looks like they just updated the denominations, from the gold coins minted by this country Pryor to 1933. I guess the one ounce size at $50, could be called a modern double eagle, which was a $20 gold piece back then. I would still rather have the real double eagle, over a one ounce modern gold coin. Hope I explained this okay.
