$180?

 

PL64 are in that price range ( $180.00 ) for this year token . Not sure what the double strike adds for value .

 

It may be double struck, but the obv (2nd photo) is damaged.

 

The coin is as small as your pinky nail .
Not sure about the Motto lettering on that second image .
Heres a link to a graded one ..

I know how small they are, I have one, but a real (original) one.
This one is a later 'charm' make for collectors, not for circulation

 

Hopefully no one is assuming it is gold, other than thin plating.

 

I'm not sure whats its made of the real ones, are gold .
For the price I would think its real .
You can buy a graded one for not much more ..

 

Its a token or charm all the same ..

 

agreed.
Just not an original

 

Ya, its not from us mint ..
But still a cool piece.
First I've seen of this design, at least me ..

 

10 K isn't very much gold.

 

History .
Wild West .
Thats what it all about to me ..
