zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/16/2009 8:37 pm Can any one help me find out about these four coins? They are gold. They do not have the gold purity on them. But they truly are gold. SOLID! The biggest ones are 39x3mm. The two smaller ones are 35x3mm. I do not have anything to weight them. At that size they should be a few ounces, correct? All I can tell you is that they are really heavy. Thanks for the help! I need to clean my scanner glass? Image: MEM.jpg 96.8 KB Image: MEMO.jpg 95.31 KB Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 04/16/2009 8:43 pm I seriously doubt that a coin that says "Good for $1 in Trade" is a solid gold piece. They are either gold colored or possible plated. Report this Post to the Staff
snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 04/17/2009 3:15 pm I would tend to agree with GO here. If you want to know for sure though, weigh them If there is significant gold content the results will be obvious. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/17/2009 3:24 pm The Alaska trade token was released to celebrate statehood in 1959 and I have one of them. That one is actually plated with Alaska gold, I have an original envelope with the info so I will have to try and find that. The others may be gold plated as well but definitely not solid gold or even a refinable amount. Report this Post to the Staff
zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/18/2009 12:23 pm Yes I do agree with you. Mine are heavy coins. I have done the gold test. It tastes like Gold)) But I did not bite them. Report this Post to the Staff
