<p>[QUOTE="RichardT, post: 4305902, member: 100005"]1 Troy ounce of gold is worth about 1600 USD currently. So a full weight 4.5g solidus should have a melt value of 1600 / 31.1 * 4.5 = 232 USD. This solidus will probably sell for more than that, but certainly not four times more. That will be 928 USD! I'd say it will sell for around 300 to 400 USD.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it very unlikely for someone to fake this coin using pure gold.
