Hello I’m trying to find some information on this coin that I have had. I have taken it to local dealers and no one can tell me anything more than it’s purity and the price for its gold weight.

Hello and welcome to Numista!

 

It's not currently in the Numista Catalog but is listed in SCWC:

NGC values it as worth its weight in gold only.

Here's one on ebay being sold for US $795 but not likely to realize that.

Ok so basically it’s not a coin that is not a collector item? Nor something that would be worth collecting?

I would say only worth it as billion gold coin.  Maybe follow that ebay listing to see if it sells for anywhere near that price.

Thank you so much for your help and also the very timely response. I hope you have a great day/ evening.

You're welcome.  

 

Found this one(N#33626 ), similar but smaller that sold on ebay for US $58 just slightly above melt value.

Actually, I am actively collecting all Franklin mint coins, and exonomia.

 

If I'm doing my arithmatic right, that is --- in gold.

edit wrong,  1/14 ounce, so US$145 in gold

Put it on ebay, start there, you should get bids well above that.  

I cant get any feel for condition in these pictures. 

Is the coin  factory sealed inside clear plastic film, glued in a sheet of card? 

or are we seeing the naked surfaces?

By the way any edge markings? have you weighed it?

No it’s not sealed. I actually found the coin in a table I bought. No edge marking except for the .500 pure gold and on top he queens lapel the init rfk I believe. There are some some surface scratches but no deep ones. 

too bad. it cant be compared to the slabbed one. 

melt value, still yeh, $145.
