prettty fucking expensive
The US government stopped minting gold dollars in 1889, and they were tiny; noticeably smaller than a dime. If your coin is about an inch and a half across, and looks like this http://www.coinlink.com/CoinGuide/images/ust_108.jpg what you’ve got is a Morgan dollar that someone has gold plated; an act that I personally feel should be punishable by horse whipping.
With the gold plating on it, it’s going to be worth at most the silver value of about $ 21, unless you can find someone who really wants/needs a gold plated example.
Even with the current run up in the price of gold, the gold plating is so thin that it’s not worth the time and effort to remove it.
