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

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?

Re: 100 troy once 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.

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

Re: 100 troy once coin
 

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.

Re: 100 troy once coin
 

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!

Re: 100 troy once coin
 

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

Re: 100 troy once coin
 

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.

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
 

So back on track, anyone know where information about this 100 troy once coin can be found?

Re: 100 troy once coin
 

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

Re: 100 troy once coin
 

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.

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.

Just a little pricey for me. :RockOn:

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