It says copy on the obverse underneath the chin, so more than likely not.

Under the indian's face is the word "COPY".
It's just gold plated base metal. It has no value.
These were sold on TV and in newspapers and magazines by profiteers when the US mint started selling the solid gold ones.

 

It's "art".

 

oh geez good thing i asked i was going to drive about an hour to get it for 20 dollars

 

thanks guys time and gas saver

 

You're welcome... even though I wasn't being serious and didn't say or do anything to help you.

In the future, be very careful/cautious about even considering a drive to possibly buy what you do not know. There's a lot of utter crap out there masquerading as something it is not, and possibly even more people willing to waste your time if there's the tiniest of chances you may bite. Good luck.

 

The TV ads for these appear frequently, and they're advertised as 14 milligrams of .9999 Fine Gold. Yeah, right! A strand of your hair is thicker than that.

I believe they were originally sold for $49.99.

 

How thick is a milligram?
You cannot go back to the bottle until you answer that, Chris.

 

LOL, a milligram is measure of weight, not thickness, so Chris might be getting mighty thirsty before he can answer that. Anyway, @AyoJustin , the old adage still holds true: "If it seems too good to be true..."

Art who? I've known several Arts.

 

Art Still, man.... You don't see the resemblance?

 

All right, guys....laugh if you want. Am I laughing at you just because you can't think outside of the box? My point is that, when 14 milligrams of gold is spread over the entire coin, it is thinner than the thickness of a strand of (human) hair.

No harm meant, Chris. Just jerking your chain,
Strve

 

No problem! I couldn't resist, either.

Chris

 

Yup. Just a tug on your chain.

 

Please, stay away from anything gold plated, platinum plated, titanium plated, etc. I tried to convince a co-worker about this and did he listen? No. It seems almost all recent U.S. coinage has been plated and hawked on T.V. and even in respected trade magazines, family magazines, etc. Once a coin has been plated it is no longer a respectable collectible unless you like and collect trinkets and such. It becomes as it was when issued, worth face value. "Some" copies are quite attractive and can fill a hole in an album but in the end they are nearly impossible to sell. JMHO.

 

For sure! I don't have much experience with foreign in general, mostly referring to all of the latest baubles here in the U.S. Kind of like counterfeits. I would not want to buy one unknowingly but some are very valuable. Thanks for your post. Tom
