CC&V Gold Medallions?

Tassa

Anyone familiar with gold medallions from CC&V? Have a gold medallion
dated 2004 with COA from Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company
that is stamped 1/2oz .9999 Fine Gold. It weighs .475 Troy Ounces.

That's odd. If it's gold bullion, made of .9999 fine gold with a stamped weight of 1/2 ounce it should weigh 1/2 ounce. The weight of .475 ounces would make me suspect. At todays gold prices that's over a $20 discrepancy.

I had one that was from an old mine in CO. I think these are a series of old mines. It was a nice token that came in a little envelope with all the information on it. I'd serch the web it was real.

I thought it was odd too. However, as for the discrepancy, on the date it was mined (according to the COA), gold was at $415 troy ounce. Searching the web, it appears to be a legitmate mining company. It isn't stamped "troy oz." It is stamped .5 oz .9999 fine gold. The actual medallaion weighs .52 standard ounces.

Weird. Maybe it's legit.

No, but it is very similar in design. The one I have is dated 2004 and it's "The Portland II."

Thanks to all for the replies.
