[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 26414878, member: 90692"]Quick check shows gold per gram $117.85 (24K) making the tokens melt value $132.58 at 18K (.750). This is changing by the hour. As noted by [USER=25416]@dwhiz[/USER] with only 100 made the rarity is very high so worth more numismatically, I don’t know what that value range would be. I don’t use FleaBay for anything as I don’t trust any of the information they spew, but you could peruse their listings just to get an idea what someone else is trying to sell one for if you believe their data. Nice token, btw, I have only one proof set in a Capital holder and it is the sealed kind. How did you determine the weight and purity if it hasn’t been cracked out yet? Previous data? Was the purity test made through the plastic? My recommendation is NOT to open; leave it as is. Hope this helps you place a value on it even if you don’t plan on selling it.
