Searching though my coins, I came upon these 2 commems which are obviously proof coins (the left ones are obv and rev of one coin and the 2 liberty's are on the same coin). A couple of us have been searching for them on the web and in books but can't seem to find them... no dates on them, except for the liberty is celebrating the centennial (1886-1986), and they are heavy. Which brings me to why I am asking because they both are a perfect 1.000 troy ounce, hmmm... makes you wonder... They are slightly larger than a silver dollar! Any help would be appreciated!!! thanks!

Not coins at all, privately made medals. I doubt they are bullion rounds or they would state the weight and fineness. Doubtful they are precious metal.

I agree but I am just guessing. They appear gold plated. I have a gold plated Eisenhower clad dollar that looks like these. But as stated these are not coins, there is no denomination.

I tend to agree with both of you since I, or the coin dealer I partner with, can not find these anywhere... it was just odd that they both weigh an exact troy ounce and the fact that nobody has seen them before (as far as the dealers I showed them to). I wasn't expecting them to be solid gold or such, that would be the icing, just want to put a deffinitive answer to what they are and where they came from! Thanks!

Absolutely no offence intended , but i would hazard a guess they might very well be Chinese products , a scan through the bullion section of ebay will produce a multitude of weird and wonderful and apparantly American commemoratives,they're not.
