I hate to break this to you. but your pic needs resizing and I don't think they made gold coins like that back in 1776. :icon_scratch:

Sorry Buddy, it may be gold, but it's not a TRUE period U.S. Coin. Probably a commemorative coin. Kind of tough to determine by the pics. Ya gotta downsize. Trust me........even if it is gold, it's not worth a huge amount of $.

there were no gold coins minted by the U.S. in 1776,I think it might be a copy.

Sorry, no such thing, probably something like on ebay a 1776 20 dollar pendant coin, not real

Google 1776 Gold coin and you will see examples of such.

well its not a real us mint gold coin for 1, and 2 when people do make jewelry out of coins very rarely do people put high grade coins in a jewelery bezel, when coins are put in bezels they are whats commonly refered to as jewelery grade, which means its worth its gold value. your next step should be to get it tested to see if it is real gold and if it is weigh it and do the math according to golds price that day. then its up to you to scrap it , or sell it for jewerly price on ebay. good luck with your endeavors
