$600 silver coin?

A few years back I went to a flea market and saw a coin that was a (face value) $600 coin (the guy was selling it for $630)... It was either the shape of a hexagon or an octagon... can anyone help me find some info on it? I've looked for years and can't find a single thing about it. It was silver and it was huge too with a diameter about the size of a dinner plate maybe an inch thick? It was a proof coin.

It was probably a california fractional or regular gold piece are you sure it was silver thats the only one I can think of.

 

It was silver

 

Not enough information. It could be anything.

 

And it was huge too

 

It may have been a pound or so

 

it probably was just a large generic silver coin then. All I can say with the info provided.

 

Was it a Norse American medal?:

 

No... It was a proof coin about the size of a dinner plate

 

maybe an inch thick?

 

this maybe

there's some 10 oz bullion rounds made to look like the 1915 pan pac commemorative. all I can think of, and $600 is a rip off even if it was being he'd be asking like $60 an ounce for it.

even this is only like less than 3" though, it's not a dinner plate, more of a coaster.

 

The coin itself had a face value of $600

 

That's too pricey.

It was probably an overpriced version of this one. This is a five ounce commemorative of the Panama Pacific Gold $50's. I think Apmex sold these for a while. They came in round and octagon bullion pieces.

Hope this helps.

Yup, that's the one. Beat me to it.

 

likely not a u.s. coin then. they stop at $100 denomination. the 1 oz. platinum eagle is $100. U.S. coins so far don't get denominations that exceed $100.

 

Oh well... I guess I tried to find it... I thought it was cool and I wanted to see it again

 

Then not a "coin"

Says who?
Not trying to be snarky, but seriously, the US Mint never produced a "Coin" with a $600 face value, nor as large as a dinner plate, so it would have been just a silver collectible if anything.

 

I mean you don't know unless you saw it... I know for a fact that it said flat out "$600" on the "coin" in question

 

It was at a flea market could of been anything.

 

It wasn't a lone coin either... it seemed to be in a proof set
