jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5208 Posts	Posted 05/03/2013 8:46 pm My guess would be it is not really solid gold. Any company going through the effort to mint a gold coin would have come up with a better design and hired a better engraver to do the dies. Report this Post to the Staff

john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 05/03/2013 9:16 pm it is about 18-19mm and weighs 1.6 grams and I know 100% for sure that this coin is gold. Edited by john517 05/03/2013 9:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12282 Posts	Posted 05/03/2013 10:22 pm Definitely not a US Mint piece! A quick search revealed one of these crudely struck medals sold at auction on 31 October 2011 for $35 (there were five bidders). Gold at the time was $1,720 per ounce. It is 10K gold (not 24K) so calling it solid gold is a bit of a fib - it is only 41.7% gold by weight. The medal was issued by American Coin Company out of California during the bicentennial year. A 10K gold medal weighing 1.6 grams at today's gold spot close of $1,470.70 per ounce has a precious metal content value of $31.66. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 05/03/2013 10:32 pm I would barely call it professionally minted but still a decent buy at the price I picked it up for. Thank you commems everything I wanted to know about it you posted for me. Report this Post to the Staff
