<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bama guy, post: 297771, member: 6154&quot;]Hey group.&nbsp; Thanks a great deal for all the comments. Believe the most important thing that I have learned is that just because someone sells coins this does not make them a coin expert, kind of like a car dealer. Anyhow&nbsp; I took the coin to a jeweler whom I have know for years.&nbsp;&nbsp; He first bounced it up and down in his hand and said that it felt&nbsp; like gold. When it stuck his ring&nbsp; he stated that is sounded like gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>He&nbsp; took his loop out and looked at the edges. He said that he did not see any signs of bleeding (The base metal under gold plating)&nbsp; The weight was 33.88 grams on their scales which is very close to the 33.436 grams weight reported for this coin. He told me he would be glad to run an acid test which involves taking a small plug of the coin and testing it but felt this was not necessary and would cause some damage to a nice circulated coin&nbsp; (his words).&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Right not I am confident that it is at least gold. Far as market value, my coin would be basically a bullion coin plus a small premium for the coin itself.&nbsp;&nbsp; When my nephew come for his semi annual visit, I will get him to take a picture and post it for me. He eats this kind of stuff up like candy.&nbsp; May be time for me to buy a camera and become more involved in the 21st century but I still refuse to get a cell phone. Well for now anyhow. Thanks again and I will someday post some pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
