fruitofmycoins Valued Member 72 Posts	Posted 08/06/2020 9:59 pm I've looked up and down the internet to try to find out what exactly these coins are to no avail. I am hoping somebody here can tell me if they are fake or real and what they are. They have the Peace dollar (obviously) obverse and reverse and are 5 dollar denomination but they are small and gold. I weighed them but forgot how much they weighed. Anyone? Report this Post to the Staff

fruitofmycoins Valued Member 72 Posts	Posted 08/07/2020 05:45 am I don't have the coins on me. I did weigh them and I have forgotten what they weighed. The size is maybe a little bigger than a nickel. Not sure that helps but I may be taking a look at them again tomorrow. Report this Post to the Staff
fruitofmycoins Valued Member 72 Posts	Posted 08/07/2020 05:48 am I want to say that they weighed around 11 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
captaincoffee Pillar of the Community United States 600 Posts	Posted 08/07/2020 6:33 pm I haven't seen these before, but from your description and the pictures, they seem to be novelty items. I suppose they could be a kind of silver round from a private company, but honestly, if you have to dig that hard into the details, I recommend you stay away. There isn't a .999 silver sort of stamp (not that I'd necessarily believe it if there was), so I'm guessing just a novelty item. Report this Post to the Staff
fruitofmycoins Valued Member 72 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 03:02 am They are actually supposed to be gold. But I am not going to take the time to find out. I have already walked away. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 09:02 am Really a bit odd for fakes. Being to small to be real. Report this Post to the Staff
USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 11:20 am For a coin or novelty item a little bigger than a nickel, I would say it's amazing detail and strike. Report this Post to the Staff
