oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5240 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 8:52 pm Can we have the size and weight please? However, it does look like one of the tiny fanams. Experts can give the precise attribution, but most are worth $15-20. Report this Post to the Staff
keepcalmandcoinon Pillar of the Community United States 865 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 9:49 pm I second the gold fanam. I'm no expert on them so I cant give you an exact ID but more than likely a fanam. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/16/2019 10:14 am I agree: gold fanam. Fakes of these exist in good gold, (used in jewelry?), - Krause warns of their existence, - but I have no idea on how to identify them. Report this Post to the Staff
Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 03/17/2019 2:03 pm Probably a silly question but are you sure its gold and not silver? Weight and size seems to match a silver Chuckram? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21888.html Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 03/17/2019 11:00 pm Your size and weight match a fanam. This seller has lots of them on a BIN for $19.95. Not rare. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Worlds-s...X3M&LH_BIN=1 Chuckrams sell for somewhat less. They're similar in size to a fanam. https://www.ebay.com/itm/I41-33-Ind...AOSwiolcexya "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
