    The stamp says it's 999 fine silver so it should be worth about $60 at 2.3 oz.

    If the coin can be verified as pure silver I suppose you could get melt value from it. I think it would be hard to determine its purity without destroying its gold plating however. I do know that silver colored or plated coins of any sort are hard to sell there is just not much of a market for them. I do know that people that buy such coins usually pay way below spot for them.

    I don't want to sell it....Just wondering if anyone has/had one. I've had it for several years.

    where did you get that? just curious
  • LeonidasLeonidas Posts: 653
    I purchased it at a flee market in Oklahoma City about 8 years ago. I didn't buy it for the silver content......I just thought it was a cool replica. I was looking at it the other night and the serial number on the edge made me curious.

    Was it "Mary's" flea market? Me & my daddy use to scour that place every Sunday as a boy = Good Times!image

    No it wasn't Mary's even though you could find anything there. It was Old Paris. About 12 years ago I payed $20 for a 1893-CC Morgan in VF.......They didn't know what they had. You can't find treasures for nothing anymore.

    Old Paris in SE, OKC. The inside flea market. Left OKC in 1987 I guess somethings never change.

    I have owned one like that but it was not gold plated. It had that exact wording on the back and on the edges it had like a serial number or number made. Mine came with a COA telling how many oz it was etc.
