This is made by a private mint and is a copy of an American silver eagle ( ASE). As for gold, H.G.E. means heavy gold electroplate. It means its gilded/plated and doesn't have much gold content, so there is really no premium added. This would just be considered a bullion coin. Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 5:36 pm dep50 Please post the reverse. Unless it says 999 fine silver on the reverse or on the edge, it may only be gold plate over copper, perhaps with a silver plate. Can you weigh it accurately? A pound of silver weighs 5760 grains/185.19 grams/12 oz troy. A pound of copper weighs 7000 grains/246.91 grams/16 oz av. If it's a pound of silver, it's a $516 doorstop; copper, about $4.50.
