Matt, the color on my monitor keeps changing and flashing, what is your synopsis of the metal composition of the coin? Gold, silver, copper or tin? What is the diameter? Is the edge reeded, plain, or inscribed? If you feel it is gold and the edge is plain, there may be a very good reason why the TPG failed to make the call, it may be a contemporary counterfeit (which is not as bad as it sounds). Many earlier Thai coins were reproduced as religious tokens, and were struck in gold of the same consistency as the original, although the weight content may differ. It may also be a rare presentation piece struck as Royal gifts to VIPs.

It is gold and the edges have been worn down like it might have been in a bezel.

Sent it into ICG yesterday on a 1-day tier so I should find out pretty soon.

I think that it is going to grade with them, and I think it will be a good grade as well. The areas on the coin (that are normally worn) show good detail. I just hope that your speculation about it being an ex-jewelry piece is not accurate. I've got my fingers crossed.

So I received the email from ICG and the grade came out as a "88".

Didnt know what that meant at first but called and found out the news that they are calling it "questionable authenticity" as well.

Hmmm, if you are sure that it is gold, then I would bet that it is indeed an amulet piece and worth its weight in gold as the Thai are not famous for diluting gold. Find a jeweler.

I was wondering, do you find these coins or do they find you? (I'm just joking around with you buddy).
