The first is not a real coin, it is a gold round issued by some private mint. If it truly is .999 gold then it is worth the value of the gold....
You're right cloud, "legal tender" is pretty much meaningless. Anybody can refuse to accept any coin or bill just because they choose to. They do...
Whatever they call it, I'd say it looks like the real deal. And I agree it has been struck twice. Probably wrong on this ( I usually am ) but I...
That's the problem with art - how good it is all depends on who's looking at it :kewl:
Well bsuttie, there are plenty of coins that those you presented "resemble" - but that's about it. Without being to see them more clearly it is...
ANACS doesn't do net grades any more - so yes they will grade & slab your coin based on the details. But, if they think it has been cleaned,...

What makes you think they did ? :confused: Franklin Mint
Howdy Andrei - Welcome to the Forum !! The only rare date I am aware of for this mint would be the 1860 Pi RO. Is this the coin you speak of ?
I'm right here Mik, I saw the post as soon as he made it. Unfortunately with the pics provided I can't see the coins well enough to identify...
Why ? If the bank accepted it at face value of $1 and the manager merely replaced it with an ordinary dollar - what is it that he did wrong ?...
Must admit I am surprised. Now do you really think that ASE went into the cash till or into that manager's pocket after he bought it for a dollar ?
They ARE the equivalent of Silver Eagles in that they are struck in .999 silver and that they have legal tender face value. Actually spending any...
I thought so at first too - but it seems the chemical make up is a bit different for the two.
Well my point is that if you introduce your wife to coins that she likes - she just might end up collecting more than you do :rolleyes:
Separate names with a comma.
