Johnathan55 Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 05/11/2018 5:56 pm Hi! Bought a box of foreign coins and found these oddities mixed in with the lot. A Copper Silver and Gold Bullion coin. (Woo complete set! ...of whatever these are.) The copper one is pretty thick, but the Silver one is wafer thin, thin enough that it does not even have a reverse. I jumped for joy when I found the "5 grams of gold" bar, but some googling leads me to believe it's just a bar of tin or something, with a wafer thin plating of gold. I'm not sure though, I'm hoping someone else may have more info. Thanks! Edited by Johnathan55 05/11/2018 5:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21605 Posts	Posted 05/11/2018 6:09 pm Your right about the gold bar. It is plated. Notice on the reverse at the top where it says "100 mills", that means it's plated. These are available on ebay by the dozens. That silver coin looks interesting though, have never seen one like that. Report this Post to the Staff
