OldManInWV New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 07:23 am Recently obtained this coin.. I know it's not a REAL 1929 $5 gold piece because of a stamping in the center of the reverse side. Would like to know who made this coin and is it maybe gold plated. Est value. 3 pics, one being the close up of the stamping that to me is unidentifiable. If nothing else it's a "Perty Coin" :) Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188740 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 08:50 am to the Community! I believe this is a replica (as opposed to something fake). The stamp might be where it said COPY and was altered.

Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 10:35 am Is there any lettering on the edge? Sometimes there's a clue there. And what is the thing between IGWT and the eagle's tail? Report this Post to the Staff
OldManInWV New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 10:48 am Thanks for the responses... My scale is not at all one that would be used for commerce but it shows 9 ounces the diameter is 1.581 in (40.15mm) and thickness is .102 in (2.6 mm) When I saw that stamp in the center I felt it was a replica also but again, cannot make out any design there. that character under "Trust" and above the tail appears to be some sort of logo. I'll attach a picture of that here too. There is no markings on the edge. Edited by OldManInWV 05/30/2018 11:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

OldManInWV New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 10:57 am Yeah.. acording to my small postal scale I have.. It is quite heavy and has a clear ring to it when dropped on a hard countertop.. I know that in itself doesn't mean much but at least its not a lead filler inside.. :) Report this Post to the Staff
OldManInWV New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 12:11 pm Let me retract that 9 oz statement... the scales decimal point was not working... that would be s more believable .9 oz ( point nine ) Report this Post to the Staff
nautilator Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 5:55 pm It's copper with a thin layer of gold. Looks like it was made by the American Mint. Here was another one: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/ite...a-layered-in Report this Post to the Staff
