You win Olympic gold. But the medal itself? It’s not solid gold. Modern Olympic gold medals are about 500g of silver… coated in roughly 6g of 24k gold. At today’s metal prices, the melt value is around $2,400. That’s it. But here’s where it changes. Jesse Owens’ 1936 gold medal sold for $1.47 million. Most Olympic gold medals fetch between $50K–$80K at auction. You’re not buying the metal. You’re buying the story. So would you sell it for a million? #Olympics #GoldMedal #TeamUSA #SilverPrices #GoldPrices
