QUESTION: DO ANY EXAMPLES COME TO MIND OF TIMES WHEN “Real gold coins were stamped ‘COPY’” or “Real Gold” was disguised as touristy-trappy, “Fake [Gold] Coins” (for example: “a gold-colored U.S. quarter,”) for the purpose of either: —protecting the monetary-investment; or —crossing a checkpoint with property intact; or —any other reason meant to protect life &/or gold Any famous, well-known, or other examples come to mind?
The only government thing I recall was Zimbabwe which issued gold coins to get the populace to use them rather than Black market U.S. dollars. see below. https://www.indiatimes.com/explaine...oduced-gold-coins-as-legal-tender-576020.html
Is it [only] “a womanly trait” to “disguise a commodity for self-preservation?” (…Possibly, maybe, so? ??)

(The bloody-brilliant Smugglers overcame Scotland Yard by disguising the 24-karat-gold as “BRASS:” )
HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS! THAT IS OUTSTANDING! (If it is not too-personal of a question: ) May you share a backstory? I wish this coin could talk! WHY did someone go to this length to create it? May we see the Reverse Side? This is truly something to behold! Thank you for sharing this! [copied/pasted, source: Heritage:]1938 Modern Jewelry Co. A privately produced gold token … (Still does not answer WHY someone went to this length. . .) (NOT “1838:”) 1938: WWII Immigration: (Makes a lot of sense: ) Do “chop-marks” look fake or added?) (Postscript: Heritage Auction’s coin is a forgery? . . . The wing’s tip is “sheared off.”)
My wife's mother gave this to me and she has another larger coin marked copy but also 22K gold/ I'll take pic's next month and post. Chinese purchases of gold always show's exact weight and purity on the receipt to customer. I'll post an example next month.
Two questions 1) why are you posting like this 2) you became a member in 2021 and made one post, all the rest have been since Monday...were you under the spell of an evil sorcerer?
