I want to thank the person who said this miniature coin has a weight of .6 grams. The other info about this coin is found on the Certificate of Authority which I captured an image from a YouTube video (see below). I bought one the other day because I love the presentation. My daughter liked it so much too that I just bought a second one from ebay for $22.50 and free postage. It is not worth any more then what I just paid however if you love your child enough the the coin is priceless. Right?

If you can buy these things for $22.50 postpaid, you're paying no virtually premium over gold spot price. Small gold pieces usually sell at a substantial premium over their gold content. For instance, low grade US gold dollars containing 1.5 grams of pure gold rarely sell below $100, or 50-60% over spot.

You can't compare spot premium for a privately made gold medallion to a collectible US gold coin. A privately made piece that has no real collector base is always going to have a small premium compared to a real coin.

This thread really belongs in the Precious Metals and Bullion topic conder, since this isn't a coin. I consider damaged common US coins to be bullion. I prefer them to private issue bullion for their known gold content.

Spot checking ebay, I couldn't find any of these little 24K tokens, though "national collector's mint" has a lot of listings.
