    I don’t have super accurate scales so I just went with a description from kjc or some other site, can’t remember.
    13.964 grams or .4425 oz

    they’re also quite large but very thin which is interesting. It does provide a big canvas for the graphics of the coin so they’re nice to look at but in the end they’re really just bullion

    Hi these are still available if anyone’s keen..

    by my calculation each coin has about $1000 worth of gold in it at the current spot price.

    i bought them for $1125 each when spot was higher, hence the premiums.

    Bump with a story: I managed to sell one of these on fee bay, the buyer paid immediately by PayPal and so I shipped the coin. Then later that day I get an email from fee bay saying that the listing has been cancelled because of unauthorised activity on the buyers account. It had some recommended actions for me to take including trying to stop the shipment. I felt super weird about that since they paid already and I didn’t understand what was going on. Did they get hacked? Did they change their mind?
    But then I contacted fee bay and they said I should keep the money safe in case I had to refund it later and NOT try to stop the shipment.
    So now I have one less coin but I also have some cash I can’t spend so that’s ok I guess
