Canada $100 gold 14k (2004–date) melt value

What this coin is

Canadian $100 gold proofs from 2004 on. Still 14k, but the planchet was cut from 13.34 g to 12.00 g. Gold content is 0.225 oz, not 0.250. Shops miss this cut if they pay every 14k $100 as a quarter ounce.

What is written on the coin

100 DOLLARS, CANADA, modern commemorative reverse. Reeded edge on many of these later years.

Metal content (the melt spec)

Mint specification: 12.0000 grams at 58.33% fine, which is 0.22500 troy oz of pure gold (AGW). Formula: grams × fineness ÷ 31.1034768. Date and mintmark do not change that number. Same 14k as 1987–2003, but 12.00 g instead of 13.34 g. 0.225 oz gold — shops miss this cut. Weigh it: 12 g vs 13.3 g. Melt today is $988.47 per coin at $4,393.20 gold.

Mintage

Mintage varies by date. We do not publish a year-by-year mintage table here because melt is the same for this composition. A scarce date or a high grade can be worth more than melt; a common worn piece is often near melt.

A little history

This type belongs to the 2004–date period in Canada. Use the date on the coin to confirm you have this composition, not a later clad or debased issue of the same design.

How to tell you have this type

Weigh it: 12.0 g is this page. 13.3 g is 1987–2003 (0.250 oz). 17 g is 1977–1986 22k (0.500 oz).

Date and mintmark do not change the metal on this page. Collector value is a different market — a shop looks at date, mint, and condition. Melt is the floor.

Same look, different composition: Canada $100 gold 14k (1987–2003). Use the page that matches what you actually have — karat and weight change the melt.
