Record-Breaking Value: Paris Olympic Gold Medals Worth $900 The gold medals awarded at the 2024 Paris Olympics are valued at approximately $900 due to the high prices of gold and silver, which make up the majority of the medal’s composition. Each medal contains six grams of gold, with the rest primarily consisting of silver, which accounts for at least 92.5% of the weight. Despite their intrinsic value, athletes rarely sell their medals, as they hold significant personal and historical worth. However, when sold, these medals can fetch much higher prices at auctions, as seen with Jesse Owens’ 1936 gold medal, which sold for nearly $1.5 million. Additionally, the 2024 medals uniquely include a piece of the Eiffel Tower, further enhancing their symbolic value. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts World Gold Council: Examining the US Election's Effect on Gold READ MORE Dow's 900-Point Plunge and Fear Gauge Surge Signal Golden Opportunities for Investors READ MORE Surging Industrial Demand for Silver means Structural Deficit set to Intensify READ MORE Goldman Sachs CEO Sees Bright 2024 as Markets Rally READ MORE January Sees U.S. Wholesale Prices Increase, Highlighting Ongoing Inflation Challenges READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
