🥇 BANNER My First Gold Coin! Need help idenifining please!,

[JamesR1964]

Hello all. I'm still shaking as I write this. I'll try and keep this short. I bought a new Whites PI about 3 months ago. The 1st month I found a old silver ring very deep. After that and a couple of weeks of trying to figure how it works. Nothing but junk and very little of that I may add. I started to regret buying it. Come to find out the coil was bad right out of the box. Whites replaced it and had me going. Thanks to there awesome service. I went out to my spot where there was and old hotel back in the 1700s or so. I've been hunting low tide about a 100+ yards out. I get a hit and I'm thinking a ring by the sound of the tone. I look in the scoop and to my surprise I see what I think is a toasted dime. (Wrong) it's my first gold coin. Small in size. But incredibly real. The front has a Indian head princess with the United States Of America written on it and the back has some kind of design that I can't make out. I can't find one like it on line. So any of you who mite know I would appreciate any help. It's in really good shape except for a small ding on the edge. Not done by me. For those of you who has found a gold coin. I know how you feel. Those of you who have not. Don't give up! Happy and safe hunting to all of my brother and sister hunters! Thank you James

Congratualtions on the gold love token coin. People sometimes cleaned (smoothed) out the reverse of a coin and added initials or words.

Made into a love token, Indian princess gold dollar.

I think you underestimate the magnitude of your find! A gold coin/token...that someone has personalized, that makes it much more special...great find! Ddf...

The ding on the edge was probably a jump ring that was soldered on, then broke off, like it was a necklace....
Great find!

I'm just a little confused, you use a scoop on dry land?

 

[Aussie]

Sorry, just looked again.
Guess I'm tired.

Excellent find. If you rotate the first image 180 degrees you'll see the monogram,"MK" or possibly "MKC".

Just beautiful, congratulations!

Great find ! ------the $1.00 gold princess weighs 1.672 and the diameter is 13 mm , but the $3.00 gold princess looks pretty much the same on the obverse--the diff is weight and diameter $3.00 weight 5.015 g and diameter 20.50 mm---------I cant tell the size in your pictures --------congrads

Congrats on a great find. Being a love token is much better than a regular plain old gold coin.
