The Reverse Proof gold coins were initially offered at $1,640 per coin, subject to change weekly according to the Mint’s pricing grid for precious metals coins based on the London PM fix for the spot price of gold.

With the spot price of gold increasing, the U.S. Mint upped the sale price of the coins by $50 on Aug. 16, imposing a price of $1,690 per coin.

The price subsequently was increased another $50 per coin on Aug. 21, to $1,740, which remained in effect until the close of sales on Sept. 5. ¦
