But realistically, do you honestly think that but for the fact that Jefferson is in a holder under a 67 grade, that you would be able to sell it for $600?

The point I was trying to make was, there&#039;s a reason for adding an alloy to the gold during smelting. If they didn&#039;t, and went to strike the gold planchet, it would be smashed lump of nothing, because the gold by itself is too soft to withstand that kind of pressure, which is exerted when striking a coin. Wouldn&#039;t surprise me if they would have to replace the die as the planchet would become part of at that point, were it not strengthened with an alloy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
