$5 gold- can you identify??

[littleton]

It's in great condition, it doesn't seem to have a date on it that I can see. I'm assuming it is recent. It says 1/10 oz gold. I hope the picture comes out right.

U.S. Gold bullion coin.
Does it have Roman numerals?

 

[littleton]

Thanks Jopher, I think it does, just to the right of the liberty just below waist level , but it's so dang small that I can't read it. What year were these minted, how much is it worth?

 

[jopher]

The Roman Numerals would be the date...Somewhere from 1986-1991.
Probably...Gold wieght....$65...??

 

[littleton]

I think the last four numbers are V111 so I guess it would be about 1988.

The 88 non-proof is actually a collectible date worth more than the base gold price.If uncirculated...maybe 3X more.Check on E-bay and see what people are paying.

Wow, that would be great if it's worth that much. I'll check out ebay. Even at gold value is great since it's a free coin. My step daughter found it some years ago and gave it to my wife, neither of them had a clue what it was, actually I didn't either till now. The coin now resides in my coin collection! Thanks Jopher!
