Help with friends gold coin found in loft . please .

[dooly]

Hi all

 

my next door neighbour has just popped round with this little gold coin which he had put away in his loft in 1976 and just got it out for me to have a look at as he knows i am a mad USA collector .. i have had a look in my books but i have been unable to find it ..

 

could you please give him any information as to what it is and grade and possable value of it ..

 

 

all the best dooly

Someone could write a book on all the bicentennial medals and sets and whatnot that came out in 1976. There must be thousands of different items.

I have one just like that. Worth $25-30.

Dooly,

I have scrapped many of these. They came in little blue boxes. I continue to get them to this day.

That looks a lot like the GW dollar coin obverse. Must've used the same source for the portrait.

If its 12k gold would it be worth more or is it a tiny little coin?

They're about the size of a dime.

Thank you. Now I can understand why the price is so low, for I was thinking the size of a Washington dollar.
