st. gaudens mini

I have a number of these mini coins. I do not know their worth. Tiny, and with the literature you get when you buy them. Apparently they are solid gold, but, well, tiny.

Tiny isn't the word for them. I can't even see them.

pics ?

 

They usually don't have any actual gold content. They make these mini versions of other nation's gold and silver coins as well.

 

like this one sittin on a dime?

 

yes, like the one on the dime

 

certificates say they are 22kt gold

 

22kt gold HGE (plated)

 

hmmm. okay. so, they seem a little silly, I guess, and kitsch.

 

Those are often thrown into "junk lots" which are a marketing gimmick on Ebay. They are "HGE" which means gold plated. They aren't worth much at all and from what I read, where produced by the Franklin mint. Remind me of those Gold buffalo replicas they sell on commercials for $9.95.
