    Cook Islands Gold $1

    I picked this bullion coin up a few years ago off ebay. It's a tribute to the United States of America

    It's cute but it's not a bullion coin, it's sort of a scam coin.
    These are misleading, they are 24% gold (note that it says .24 not 24K or .9 or .99 or .999) of the total weight (not 22-24K like bullion coins) so that means it's really 72mg of actual gold. If it was sold as a bullion coin based on the coin weight then it was a scam.
