mnknight77 Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 07/04/2017 6:28 pm Hi everyone, I was perusing ebay looking and ran across this coin and started to dig to get more info. I have heritage from Venezuela so I was curious. The coin was made for the bank of Venezuela by the bank of Italy called the "chiefs of the second world war" series. Supposedly there were 2 sizes made, a 60 bolvares (15 grams at oro de ley 900) and 20 bolvares (6 grams at oro de ley 900) size. Approximately 14-18 different coins were made in between 1957-1959. However this coin on ebay (from my very very limited knowledge) is about a 5 bolavares size. The coin is 1.5 grams and smaller than a dime. You can barely tell on the back of the coin the lei or ley 900. The coin on the obverse and reverse looks identical to the Roosevelt "chiefs of the second world war" official coin. What is the likely hood that this coin is real? Thanks! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Roosevelt-C...AOSwCkZZV92P Report this Post to the Staff

If gold is at $1,223 (current), With that sort of premium on a one ounce coin, a bullion gold coin should be priced $1,600 with taxes distribution marketing packaging and profits where applicable, added onto the $1,600.
