First off, welcome to the forum, glad you found us to answer any questions.

Here's my 2 cents. Unless it has a COA, it doesn't appear to have any indication that it is from the mint, which will severely limit any resale value. To us, it is a $20 coin stuck in a hunk of plastic that can be made in any garage with a coin, a mould and a can of liquid acrylic, worth about $20 plus $15 worth of effort.

To you it is a priceless memory of your Mom that is irreplaceable. Put it on a shelf, put it on your desk, put it on your tchotchke table and everytime you look at it, remember Mom and smile.

How could it be really expensive? You can do it yourself with stuff you can buy at an art supply store. Just have a mold in the right shape. To "suspend" something in the middle, pour and let dry the bottom half before pouring the top half.

moxking I tried it at 75. If I get it, cool. If not, nothing lost and I'll relist it at a lower price. c:

denco7 Hello. As I said, my mom's friend gave us a lot of things from the mint, like proof sets and the like. He said it was from the mint. :shrug" I suppose he could be lying, but I don't think he was. The other auction on ebay had the box and everything with it, so I'm pretty sure it was legit. I don't make any sure claims in the listing, though, because I'm *not* 100 percent sure.

As for my mom, we lived in the same house until she died. I have an entire house of things of hers that make me smile. I have a while shelf in my living room as a memory shrine to her. This coin has non emotional attchment to it so I will sell it because I need to pay my utilities. I appreciate wht you're telling me, but I have plenty of hers as memories. The things tht truly remind me of her. This paperweight was usually buried on her desk with papers.

Andrew...no clue. All I know is it's supposedly a dealer only doodad from the mint--there are pictures of it with its box on the other ebay auction from someone who (as they say) got it from the mint so.. :shrug: and otherwise, if not, it looks cool. I know how to mold things. I took shop class.

Anyway. Thanks for your input. Sorry if I offended anyone. c:
