<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2399837, member: 24314&quot;]Most of these are not gold.&nbsp; A specific gravity test would tell.&nbsp; Here is an easy test for you.&nbsp; Take the coin from the holder and lay it flat on a smooth surface.&nbsp; If it is thicker than 3-4 sheets of paper, it is junk.&nbsp; These pieces can be purchased for less than a dollar on up depending on the knowledge/greed of the seller.&nbsp; Around the early part of the 20th century, much &quot;finer&quot; replicas were produced w/o the word &quot;Dollar&quot; or &quot;Dol.&quot; on them.&nbsp; They are referred to as charms and at least two TPGS slab them as such.&nbsp; They are gold.&nbsp; I bought one decades ago for $2 before they became popular.&nbsp; Now they go for $$ - $$$ since the genuine pieces sell for $$$.&nbsp; Mike Locke has a web site on the replicas.&nbsp; When I was a kid, pieces like yours were in sets at the dime store.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
