I am completely inexperienced so any help is appreciated as far as quality/value!

Thanks!

Welcome to coinpeople

Coin not original!!!

And. possibly, not even gold.

Definitely not gold. Resembles my conterfit (which is a bit of a better quality).

I saw these on Ebay selling for $5, so you can probably sell it for that.

Wow, that's too bad... I was really hoping it was one of these! lol

Oh well... thank you for the information! And, how can you tell? By the color?

Details are just completely wrong. Hope you didn't pay gold value for it. Welcome to coinpeople by the way.

Oh no, didn't pay anything for it... found it in the back yard, I think. But thanks!

I sold 2 of these on ebay (ofcourse informing people these were not real). One sold for $15 and one sold for $10. It is a novelty, but where it was made remains a mystery.

Lenny, you should have told me if you were planning to sell one! I have been trying to look for one, in particular with the edge inscription so that I can put it up on my site warning about such fakes. There are articles going back to 1984 regarding about such fakes according to one of the Australian coin magazines that I have somewhere.

I have another (last one left). Was going to leave it in my collection, but I can provide good scans for a good cause. May even sell it.
