1914 Montana Gold

DNADave

Found this in a tissue paper from an old collection. Think it’s real?

All I can offer is OROYPLATA is Gold and Silver in Spanish. Why use this for Montana gold? Looks like someone thought it was valuable.

There’s an XF45 on eBay that sold for over 800 in NGC plastic. I saw somewhere that less than 30 were made

It's got to be in some reference material if NGC slabbed and authenticated it. Someone here will know.

Let's hope someone on the board does know about this item. I've never heard of it before but would like to know about it.

There seems to be quite a bit of info online about this. It is part of Hart’s Coins of the West series. Here is the ATS Explorer page:

Band-aids used to come in metal containers? 😜

Looks as if it may be authentic.... Check it out according to the online references and if it seems good... send it in...Cheers, RickO

It's authentic. Great little piece.
I have one. Unfortunately, it was a cuff-link or some other dastardly thing at one point in it's life.

Ugly as but very interesting...

Gut feeling is genuine. Worth getting slabbed.

Now that is neat. I cannot speak to its authenticity and if you send it in to a TPG please share the findings. The old Band Aid container is a nice touch to the presentation!

This is great. Thanks for sharing it @sellitstore!

Imagine seeing all of these as TrueViews in CoinFacts or a Registry Set?
