100 troy once coin Anyone know where I can find info about a SAE 100 troy coin? I tried google but more garbage than useful info.

Re: 100 troy once coin There are no official 100 oz ASEs from the US mint. they are all 1oz The largest government mint coins i know of are the Australian kookaburra, Koala and lunars, i believe they make kilo and 10 kilo coins

Re: 100 troy once coin I had in my hands a 1997 100 troy once coin what appeared to be a SAE (running liberty on the front and a eagle on the back). Is this something other than a US government coin?

That is very interesting. That is the first time that I have heard of a 100 troy oz coin. It was more than likely a round that was minted by a private mint.

Re: 100 troy once coin There are several of the private mints which made these over the years, could be from the Washington Mint, I don't recall seeing any though over 25 ounces myself.

Re: 100 troy once coin Don't tell me, you are going to put it on a gold chain and hang it around your neck...? :452:

Ten kilos would be 321.5 troy oz or about 22 lbs. That would be quite a remarkable coin!

Man I like the way you think! The Flava Flave 80's look, it's got to be making a come back! On the back of the coin I remember a w on top of a m, could be washington mint.

Re: 100 troy once coin Of course they're not govt. issued. There are several "private mint" lookalikes anywhere from 1 oz to one troy pound (12 troy ounces) plus a few that are a little heavier, but frankly no one gives a hoot about them. I have never seen or even heard of a 100 oz private mint coin. It would cost WAY too much for a private company to produce the dies and have the equipment for the actual striking of the blank.

I got news for you there are one hundred troy once SAE's out there, who makes them I don't know but I'm on my way to finding out! Have a hoot on that!

Then I'm going to guess that they are sand cast replicas. Good luck!

Why are you so down on these coins, it is a proof quality coin and the size of a personal pan pizza! It looks just like this but only a 1997 date and has MW on the back, no front makings. http://www.moderncoinmart.com/cart1/...hp?imageid=577 http://www.moderncoinmart.com/cart1/...hp?imageid=578

Re: 100 troy once coin I was refering to the 100oz replicas, not the others. I have a bunch of the half pound (6 oz) replicas in stock that are struck and proof finish.

Re: 100 troy once coin That would be a seven pound "pizza pie" Why the US mint never got into making bigger peices I will never know But the Perth dominates the iregular size market. I would Kill to see a Kilo size SAE. T

I spent 2 hours Internet searching and found zero 100 oz silver rounds even mentioned...I believe you held one, maybe a mint name?

The coin has W over M on the back, someone mentioned the Washington Mint. I looked there and found nothing.

Re: 100 troy once coin closest I could find was 16 ozt. http://www.coinmogul.com/silver-bars.../prod_103.html

Re: 100 troy once coin Somewhat related, if I remember correctly in one of the coin publications recently they had mentioned that the US Mint was either considering or going to produce I think a 3 (or 2) oz silver coin. Sorry can't remember all the details.

Re: 100 troy once coin Maybe it was grams instead of troy ounces? I found a listing for 1000-gram american eagle, which comes out to just over 32 troy ounces. http://cgi.ebay.com/1-THOUSAND-1000-...item2a0376beb9 Just a little pricey for me. :RockOn:

Yikes US $5,500.00, I guess it's a little pricey!
