My father found them on our property with the metal detector. Both coins were the same, they looked exactly like the American 20 dollar gold pieces but at a size smaller then a penny. I sold one and I am still in possession of the other. The discovery of said coins brought about more of my inner treasure hunter and I hope to find more cool items. I'll keep you posted if I do.

what ever works
By your description it would have to be a Two and a Half dollar Liberty head gold coin.
How did you sell it and not know what it was.
They were a low minted coin and a good one can fetch a good price.

Take a photo of the one you still have, front and back. Would like to see this small gold coin. How much did you get for the one you sold?

I'll post pics as fast as I can get them up. I won't say how much I sold the first one for. I will say the this is not B.S. and when I post the pics you'll know it.

Here are the pics front and back. They don't look gold but they are. I hope these pics don't send the rampant troll like doubters on this site into a state of shock.

It is gold, this camera is not very good. With that said can anyone give me anymore information on this piece?

This is the smallest version of that particular coin. Pretty weird that it looks silver and not gold at all in color. I think even with the crappiest quality phone you could probably pick up the gold color at least? Maybe I'm wrong for I haven't found a gold coin!
