johnathan Valued Member Canada 107 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 5:47 pm Just bought this at flea market for 3 dollars can any one advise if real gold leaf, just a guess of course. It sure has the look of gold, thin like a dollar note, may weigh a gram or two 2"5/16"x5"7/8" , no coin store near me..thanks for any id stamped 23k (gold leaf looking) The only odd thing is, appears all gold the ship also? the case says first gold and silver? Gov of Antigua and Barbuda, if real gee worth a bit more then 3 dollars, sold cheap wonder if a fake? thanks Royal Rover/ and King James ships Edited by johnathan 05/03/2012 7:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 6:10 pm I also have one of these and believe they are real. No real gold content but certainly collectible. There is a whole series of these. Selling on ebay for roughly $20US depending on which one you have. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...0.m270.l1313 Regards, -Kurt Edited by Biancasdad 05/03/2012 6:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

AU90o Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 6:16 pm That is weird and thanks for sharing. I can't imagine having this in my wallet and use it to buy groceries. Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 6:26 pm At current exchange rates it's worth like 30-something dollars face value if you can find some place to exchange it. It's so strange I can't imagine trading it in for regular cash though. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/03/2012 6:53 pm I have seen an an example of a U.S. gold $100 bill. Very interesting, and a bit if a gimmick. Numismatically, no value. Nevertheless, they do have some real value in the marketplace. If that is your thing, buy one! No harm done. Report this Post to the Staff
