I need help identifying the gold coin in the pictures below. I cannot find any information on it via google so I'm hoping someone here will know something about it. Ribbit
I should have said Medal. I call anything round, a coin and I need to stop doing that just like I need to stop calling half-cents or cents, pennies. Ribbit
At first glance, it appears to just be a generic gold round from some unknown manufacturer. It would have been nice if the manufacturer of that gold round would have stamped the weight on it. I would be concerned as to whether or not it is genuine or a Chinese counterfeit. The design resembles that of our Presidential dollar series but the dates on it give the impression the round was struck to commemorate the bi-centenial of 1976. Hmm? Have you considered bringing it to your local dealer for authentication?
Sorry! I forgot to post the weight of this Medal - 2.5 grams. Ribbit Ps: I know Great Britain has issued medals/tokens for US Commemoratives and I am wondering if this might be from GB? Note the "GB" on the right of Washington with a funny little symbol below it.
The GB could also stand for gold bullion and the funny little symbol could be a mint mark from a private mint. I can't make out the symbol in the picture. Lou
Is that supposed to be Washington? The poor engraving alone makes it look like a cheap Chinese counterfeit, but I'm probably wrong.
I decided not to buy it since I can't figure out what it is, to confirm it is what it says it is (gold). Thanks everyone for trying to help me figure this one out. :thumb: Ribbit
These were a privately made souvenir sold by telemarketers during the Bicentennial. We buy in several a year, and just scrap them as there is no demand for them.
