Guest David Backhouse_I'm_a_Guest Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 My daughter has just been left a US $20 gold coin in a heavy gold (?) necklace. We have no idea of its value and would welcome a view on this.Thanks. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted September 18, 2003 Posted September 18, 2003 David,Values start at US$375 for a coin in VF(20) condition and not ever mounted as part of jewellery so I would imagine if it's the same with US gold coins as it is with British ones, that it won't be wanted by coin collectors and will default to it's gold content value.Which of course changes every day but the coin should consist of 0.9677 onces of pure gold. The coin is .900 fine and weighs 33.436 grams....Off the top of my head Chris Perkinswww.predecimal.com(Source: Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins 1801-2000, latest edition) Quote
