Frequently asked questions about gold ten guilder coins
How much does a gold tenner weigh?
A gold tenner weighs 6.72 grams. This includes the small amount of copper incorporated into the alloy to give the coin strength. The pure gold in a gold tenner weighs 6.048 grams. This corresponds to 90% pure gold.
Are gold tenners rare?
It is estimated that about 40 million gold tenners were put into circulation in the past. Partly due to the high price of gold, some of this will have been melted down, a large part is still traded for its gold value.
Gold tenners are not as rare as, say, gold ducats. This is because more gold tenners have been minted over time. However, rare gold tenners can still be found, especially the coins from the early years and commemorative coins.
What is the difference between a gold tenner and a gold ducat?
Both the gold tenner and gold ducat are popular gold investment coins from the Netherlands and are known for their rich history. Both coins are struck in 90% pure gold and have approximately the same diameter. Interestingly, a gold tenner (6.72 grams) is almost 2x as heavy as a gold ducat (3.49 grams). This makes the gold tenner worth more than the gold ducat if you look purely at the gold value.
Whereas the gold tenner is now no longer minted, the Dutch Mint still issues a new gold ducat and gold double ducat every year with a limited edition. These gold ducats are minted in honor of rich trading history of the Netherlands.
Can I order a gold tenner from a specific year?
No. At The Silver Mountain, you cannot choose a gold tenner from a specific year. We supply gold tenners from a variety of years at the same price. In our warehouse, it is not possible to distinguish between different vintages when delivering our gold tenners.
Why aren't gold tenners always in stock?
Since gold tenners are no longer minted and were all put into circulation in the past, we only purchase our gold tenners from private individuals. The advantage of these pre-owned gold tenners is that we can offer them at a competitive price. However, this can also mean that sometimes we don't have any gold tennies in stock. This is because we depend on the number of gold tenners that individuals offer to us through our purchasing website Inkoop Edelmetaal.
