Somebody asked me if I would be interested in purchasing a "collectable" Disney gold coin. He says it is 1 oz of gold, but he doesn't have the COA and it doesn't say it on the coin.

Anybody know for sure what's up with this coin (Pictures attached)?

    If I remember correctly, those were 22k gold plated .999 silver coins.

    Weigh it, have it looked at by someone who can analyze it.

    I don't think they are gold coins, just commemoratives.

    There is one on Craig's list, asking $125 and no one has grabbed it in a few days.

    I think you'd need a spectrometer for this one, probably nowhere near worth the cost.

    I've now googled it as well and confirmed that the commems are 22K gold plated over silver.

    Why else would one sit on CL at only $125 if it were actually gold?

    The COA would confirm it, I'd imagine that many B&M shops have seen them as well.
