Chriscook813 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 06/01/2020 8:04 pm Well they all had one of those machines that are digital but said the coin is really too small for those. I need to find a place that has a hand held xfr machine or whatever. So out of frustration of running into dead ends I let the pawnshop Blackstone the edge. I really didn't want to do this but, hey. Anyways he said it would sell for 41 bucks a gram. He knew I don't want to sell. Report this Post to the Staff

Chriscook813 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 07/06/2020 7:40 pm So today I went by a big jeweler and found out that the coin is in fact a solid gold but it's just better then 14 k.so it looks like a jeweler made it. They couldn't tell me if the coin was from a mint or not, just that it was solid gold. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 07/06/2020 9:45 pm Only one way to find out, send it off to a TPG (shy of figuring out the exact purity and using process of elimination there). I would also venture to say it cast. Dentils and all lettering are sharp, but the lack of detail on the head itself are severally lacking. If nothing else, you have its weight in gold!

Chriscook813 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 07/07/2020 7:26 pm I really don't think sending it off would do any good but cost me money. If I'm not mistaking, the mint never used any planchets with that little of purity. I guess I'll just keep it as a novelty coin. Unless someone wants it. Report this Post to the Staff
