Small Gold Coin?

[MickSilver]

I was hunting in CT today and found this its appears to be a small gold coin I can read one on it.. It showed up around 60 on the atmax... My pics dont do it justic. I am afraid to try to clean it anymore. If someone can help me to identify it I appreciate it!!

It's intriguing. Clean it up some more and post more pictures. I would say if it's play money you risk nothing by cleaning it. It it's real gold I'd say you probably won't damage it with gentle cleaning. There's enough detail on there that if you have some clear pictures of it someone will be able to identify it. Best of luck! I hope it's gold!

Just weighing it will tell, anybody who has ever held a gold coin knows they are way heavier then any other metal coin of similar size. If his item is the size of a dime it should weigh a lot more than a dime. He could also just take it to a jeweler or pawn shop for a quick gold test. Still looks like an aluminum play coin to me and it would then weigh less than a copper or silver or clad coin of similar size. Might actually be a good idea for all members who have never held a gold coin to go to a coin shop and handle some gold coins so they will know just how heavy they are, they will never mistake a find for gold again.
