I picked up this gold coin that he assayed as .916 gold and .45 gram:



Does anyone know when these were put out? Maybe when "Honeycombs" cereal was doing their tiny gold flakes in a plastic capsule in the 1960s?

Heard of them nothing more
They are or were a private company that included a certificate of authenticity when these tokens were made. Each certificate would have had a short description of the token (the coin it was based off of) and a (likely) random certification number. As far as I know, the CoA was printed on only one side and I have never seen one with a date of manufacture listed on it.
My guess is that these would have been sold in the 1990s or very early 2000s.
