    Hello,

    I found this coin in my basement and I don't know what it is or what it's worth. DSC_0030.JPG DSC_0040.JPG DSC_0011.JPG

    On the one side you can see an eagle and at the bottom it says "75u". On the other side you can see the two brothers with their names and the date "1963-1968".

    It looks like some coins that I saw on the internet but not a single one is actually the same. I tested it and i came to know that it was made of gold.

    The coin is 0.86 inch/ 2.2 cm in diameter, 0.04 inch/ 1 mm thick and it wheighs about 0.2 oz/ 5.7 gr.
    I would really like to know what kind of coin it actually is and what it's worth.


    Thanks in advance

    Are you sure it is gold and not just gold-plated?

    Not a coin. Token or medal........

    Yes, I'm a goldsmith and it was a positive test. I also thought it could be a medal but I didn't see a hallmark.

    I collect medals, and there are thousands of them that have no hallmark or other identification whatsoever. It isn't a coin because it has no denomination.

    I know there were a lot of tribute coins,and medals struck,
    In the honor of the Kennedy's . Some I've seen were mostly European and African countries . You may want to check e bay or other sites as such to see if you can identify that way. Maybe try Kennedy brothers medal as a search term. Good luck
