King Salmon New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/18/2010 02:38 am I received as a gift a full 15-piece set of Beijing 2008 Olympics commemorative gold coins. Can anyone verify these are not copies? or if they are gold coins? If so what would their value be? Report this Post to the Staff

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/18/2010 1:34 pm Hi there, these are actually privately made commemorative tokens and not coins. They're supposed to come with a certificate of authenticity, and if it does contain any precious metals, it should say on the certificate. Otherwise, these are most likely gold-plated brass or bronze. As for value, I'd say it depends on who wants it, but I'd think less than $20 or even less than the sale price. There are just so many of these "commemoratives" floating around. Report this Post to the Staff

King Salmon New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/20/2010 4:39 pm Ok, thanks. So you think there is little "numismatic value" and the only value would be the gold? Is there a good gold buyer you can recommend? I'm afraid local shops might not give me the best rate. Report this Post to the Staff
