I see a gold coin on Ebay for twice what mine sold for
It was graded as proof .69 and sealed by the grading
company. What does proof mean?

Okay so I have seen the infomercial on the 1929 gold proof coin. It can be yours for $20.

Is this a replica? Is it really gold? The gold 1929 actual coins are worth $500 or more so I am confused.

Is the one on tv junk? Help! thanks
It sounds fishy to me too. That is why I am wondering what it is exactly.
