    Does not look real.

    Damaged and plated. Note how the denomination was carved out along with the date. It also looks like someone tried to reduce the size and subsequently had to recreate the reeded edge. Your coin appears to be a contemporary "racketeer" coin that someone would have tried to pass off as gold. Interesting, but little to no premium.

    I think it has suffered heavy corrosion. maybe put in a vat of acid. There is the faint remnants of the number "1" but little else. james

    This is most likely IMO. And, if it can be documented with others existing would carry a premium to the right collector. (Me, for example.)

    Not a dime

    The reverse narrows it down to either a quarter or half dollar, and it shouldn't be a half dollar since it's closer to one finger width than two.

    then what gold coin would it try to mimic?

  • hummingbird_coinshummingbird_coins Posts: 1,569 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Quarter: 24.26 mm
    $5 gold piece: 21.6 mm
    A bit of a stretch, but if the target of this racket couldn't identify the design as that of a quarter, they probably wouldn't question anything else.

    Token or replica of some kind. Not a real coin. Worth nothing.

    I have no clue what that is! My first reaction was a chocolate coin.
