commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12263 Posts	Posted 11/08/2021 07:24 am If genuine, the coin is 0.900 fine gold which means an actual gold weight of 7.52 grams. This equates to 0.24187 troy ounces of gold. At the current spot value of gold (~$1,815 per ounce), the Jackie Robinson gold $5 coin has an intrinsic value of ~$440.00. I'll leave it to you to decide if you got a good deal! PS I would take the coin to a dealer who can accurately test the piece to ensure it is solid gold and not just a gold-plated counterfeit. A purchase price of just $75 is a bit concerning. Does it mean the coin is fake? Does it mean the coin was stolen and the seller was looking for quick cash (possibly w/o knowing it was worth more?)? It's hard for me to imagine that a reputable/knowledgeable coin dealer would sell such a coin for $75. (Sorry for being skeptical, but there's just something I find suspicious about this one.)

Winesteven Pillar of the Community United States 697 Posts	Posted 11/09/2021 12:36 am Quote: I recenctly traded a 1999 1/10 oz Gold $5 dollar coin for the 1997 Commemorative Jackie Robinson $5 Dollar gold coin and was trying to see if that was a good decision, or a flop. I see you posted the above quote on a separate company coin forum before posting here on the CCF about an hour after that! However, on this post you said you paid $75, rather than traded a $5 gold coin for the $5 Gold Jackie Robinson! Honesty is the best policy. Please don't troll!

I'm not interested in supporting the inquiry. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
