    I have a small mis-stamped gold coin. I've attached a scan I did of it. Can you tell me anything about it?

    Welcome to CoinTalk.

    Does your coin have a "coin turn" or a "meda turn". In other words, when you flip the coin over top-to-bottm is the reverse oriented the same as the obverse (coin turn) or upsidedown (medal turn)? In the US all coins have coin turn.

    For the obverse and reverse to be off center in opposite directions (like your coin) the coin would have to have medal turn. Are you sure your coin is genuine?

    I scanned it crooked on one side. I think both sides are oriented in the same direction with the offset on the same side. thanks.

    It's a tiny privately made medallion made of gold of unknown fineness that is supposed to look something like the design on a Saint-Gaudens double eagle. The blank did not get centered between the dies before it was struck. Value? What ever the bullion is worth.
