<p>[QUOTE="Mike1951p, post: 2927938, member: 91516"]I have found out that in 1950, the US minted for Syria; a matter of fact, they minted a coin struck in .900 fine gold. Now, this coin is 19mm (the same as a Lincoln)and only a quarter of a gram more in weight than an ordinary Lincoln cent. 1/2 pound. My question is, could it be possible for a 1950-51 Lincoln to be struck on a 1/2 pound Syrian gold planchet? Also, one reason I ask is that I have a solid gold 1951 Lincoln Wheat cent that I just uncovered these past few days. I know this sounds too rare but I did find it. I wrote a letter today to ANACS and one to NGC yesterday. Here are pics of the potential gold coin my Lincoln was struck on and my 1951 lincoln.
