Medal US Large St. Gaudens Novelty Piece 1907
The St. Gaudens $20 gold piece is often heralded as 'America's most beautiful coin.' It is the subject of countless copies, reproductions, and replicas. The real coin (see this CoinQuest page) is very valuable. The copies, reproductions, and replicas are not valuable.
A lady named Sabrina sent us this picture of her large St. Gaudens medal. It's a beauty, but not very valuable.
Sabrina's coin is about 3 inches wide, so it is not a genuine $20 gold piece, which measure a little more than 1 1/4 inches. The 3 inch novelty item is made of gilded zinc and weighs a few ounces, making it one of the classier reproductions. They sell on eBay for a few US dollars.
