    What does the reverse look like? Is it marked "gold" and does it show a fineness?

    Does it say "GOLD"? It's probably only worth melt unless you can find someone who collects Olympic memorabilia. It might do well on eBay especially during the next Olympics when interest in this material is at a peak.

    This is one of the 1964 commemoration medals, designed by Yusaku Kamekura, issued by the Tokyo Olympic Fund Raising Assn.

    If it says 750 on the reverse it is the gold one, 750/1000. It should be 23mm and 7.2g.

    The silver and bronze medals were 30mm, the silver "925/1000".

    There are collectors for everything. Like Perry said, you might be better off selling it when Olympic fever hits. At .750 fineness and a qtr oz., melt is a few $hundred or so.

    There are Olympic medal collectors. The question is: With Gold at nearly $1300 per ounce is there a collector out there who is willing to pay more than melt?

    I doubt it.

    Or, with gold at that price, would you be happy to sell it for melt image

    Is there a reference book for pieces Olympic pieces?

    With all the constant talk focused around selling coins, I am beginning to think this should be called 'DEALERS UNIVERSE'. Cheers, RickO

    Wow! I must admit that my initial reaction was that it was not gold.

    I had the same thought the first time I saw it. Looked more like copper. Could be the pic though.

    It could be gold gilt over a silver coin.

    But after a few responses, it appears not.image
