"Brief Hello", but to post something I've been hoping to find in a Coin Star machine for many, many years!

GOLD!

First off. How has everyone been?

While attending the new forum,
Trading Cards Forum
😆
I do happen to notice. A few of you guys crossing over to say Hi!
Thanks
Anyway. Sorry for blabbing, I miss ya guys!
Here is the Euro Coin I found in my local Coin Star machine...

Thank you!

    Looks like it's gold plated.

    Is this for real? Why would you post foreign coins in a US coin form?

    Gold? No. Worth about 50c.

    I thought you were better educated about numismatics than this, but I guess this was just a spoof thread to say hello.

    No. It was not even a moment. It's a circulated 50 euro-cent coin from 2002. In what world could that EVER be gold?

    Since you've moved over to Trading Cards, it's the equivalent of opening this pack:

    Good to see you, Joey.

    Don't forget, just because someone is asking $3000 for a coin, does not mean it actually sells for that.

    https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces134.html
    It sells for 54 cents in circulated condition like yours.


    I thought you would have learned how "golden" appearing coins often have no gold, from the US Sacagawea dollar?
    Have you seen those?

    The boxes of half dollars are piling up at banks in the Chicago area. They want to know when you will return! ;)
