ASEnut Valued Member South Africa 453 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 10:08 am I did the unglazed plate test left gold scratch not black,did not scratch the glass, and in non magnetic also it is yellow in colour not reddish,so could it be gold Report this Post to the Staff

usc96 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 11:14 am Think we are going to need a picture of the other side of the coin. Also, can you make out what is written on the coin? I searched 2005 beijing olympics 1000 yuan gold coin; 2002 beijing olympics 1000 yuan gold coin; 2002 beijing olympics 1000 gold coin; 2005 beijing olympics 1000 gold coin; 2005 beijing olympics 1000 coin; 2002 beijing olympics 1000 coin, beijing olympics 1000 gold coin; and beijing olympics 1000 coin, But could not find an image that looked like your coin.

ok88beat New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 1:09 pm Found this on ebay, not the some size but it kinda looks like it has some of the same features like the dots around the outer edge of the coin. My guess would be plated on yours. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beijing-200...em43c55ebb7d Report this Post to the Staff
ok88beat New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 1:14 pm Forgot to ask if there was anything on the rim like a stamp or writing, also a acid scratch test would probably help alot. Report this Post to the Staff
ASEnut Valued Member South Africa 453 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 1:20 pm I will take it for a acid test to check, but think its plated as well Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 1:24 pm 50mm? That's probably 2-3 ounces of gold, a $4000+ purchase. That's huge for a gold coin. Ain't no way. Report this Post to the Staff
ASEnut Valued Member South Africa 453 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 2:49 pm Going to weigh it and acid test if it is gold....well then I'm smiling all the way yeah lol Report this Post to the Staff
ASEnut Valued Member South Africa 453 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 2:56 pm We have ultra accurate scales at work so will see I saw a gold plated coin with same dimensions weighs 45grams soooo if it weighs more it must be gold Report this Post to the Staff
usc96 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 06/21/2014 4:00 pm Where did you find it? If you bought or found it for less than $100, it's not gold. Report this Post to the Staff
