Message:: [QUOTE="nullkrush, post: 922049, member: 26088"]Hey guys, I was referred here from yahoo answers. I broke a $20 bill in a coin machine at work and got a blank gold dollar. After looking at it under the light (and really closely) I could make out faint lettering on the side. The only thing I am able to make out is "UNUM" and "D" (meaning printed in Denver I assume?) and I can make out "200-". It's very faint and after looking around online I found that this is because it must have somehow got to the stage where the lettering is imprinted, but from what I hear it's near impossible for a coin to get to that phase if it is un-struck. I guess my question is this: Is this something that would be worth looking into? Does the fact that I cannot make out what exact year the coin is mean it's not worth anything? I mean I can only assume that it IS a pres. planchet because it has the side lettering. I am working to get a picture up soon but I don't have a very good camera and going by the faintness of the side lettering, I don't think my cruddy camera will be able to pick it up. Other than that, just looking at what a coin like this WOULD be worth if it was verified by a coin company?  Best or worst case scenario.[/QUOTE]
