I don't know why the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle is only $5.00, but we know that face value is not important... intrinsic value is.
Calculating Intrinsic Value
The intrinsic value (melt value) is calculated by taking the weight (troy ounces), verifying purity, and multiplying by the current spot price of the metal.
