The double sided Washington medal marked first president is a funerary medal but there were many different versions of the medal made at different times. Marking the 50th 100th 150th anniversary of his death as well as the Centineal and Bicentenial of the country. The one that was mentioned on Pawn Stars is the type that was made immediately after his death and yes it is worth a great deal of money after it is authenicated and providing it is in good shape which is very rare because of the metal it was made of. Most of the shiny ones made of copper or bronze are newer ones from the 1900's some are holed some are not. The older ones are almost always made of pewter or white metal and are always holed. Now there are rumors going around that silver examples were made and given to select people in Washington at the time of his death though I've never seen one at auction or at a museum. I have been metal detecting for thirty years and have found three. Two new, and one old. The old one is in bad shape because of the effect of the ground on Pewter. The best rule of thumb is with these tokens that if it looks new it probably is. What the tokens are worth all depends on when the token was made starting at about 10 bucks and going as high as 7000 depending on age and grade.

This coin is actually called the George Washington funeral coin. There are several varieties and all are holed as they were made that way to hang as a necklace. Yes there was one sold on Pawn stars show for $2500.00, but was sold by the shop for a lot more. The highest price paid for one was in 2007 and hammered for $236,000.00. I have several varieties and took them to the F.U.N. Show and most dealers don't call them funeral coins but rather commerative coins and vary from $5,000 and up. Its best to auction them as they were made in the late 1700's.

George Washington 1797 Coin

I have a coin I got from my Grandfather's estate after he died. It is identical on both sides. It's a side profile of Washington. Across the top it says "1789 1st President U.S.A. 1797" and across the bottom it says "George Washington". The other side is identical to the first but you cant see George or the date well. It also has a hole through the top but you cant really read it that well. Sorry couldn't upload more pictures because they exceeded the max size limit. Can you tell me more about it?

Thanks for resurrecting this thread - it's hilarious. I had a good time reading all 4 pages of delusion and ignorance. My only concern is all those poor user names getting taken and used only for one post. Peter should release them into the wild.
