Here are some pictures, and if anyone can tell me what or why, it'd be appreciated (I took the pictures from ebay, as I'm more interested in what it is. I have a certificate of authentication that it was minted by the Centre Coin Company, and is 10k gold). * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/28/2012 4:23 pm It is a copy of a $20 territorial gold coin issued by ClAssay Office which eventually morphed into the Denver ark Gruber & Co. CGCO was eventually turned into a US Mint. Original CGCO coins in denominations of $5, $10 and $20 are fairly rare and sought after and they are listed in the Territorial Gold section of the Red Book. Based on the photos, it appears to have the color of a brass composition rather than gold. Edit: I should also mention that my avatar is a $5 CGCO Edited by biokemist6 12/28/2012 9:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
MikeChas New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 12/28/2012 7:22 pm Yeah, the one in the picture does look brass. I'm pretty certain mine is gold though. I just didn't know if there was any actual history behind the copy, although I doubt there is. Thanks for moving this to this section whoever did.
