This coin was struck in 2005 as a test pattern for a potential .99999 fine bullion gold issue. The issue was never put into production, but the 396 test pattern coins were sold out to defray the expense of the testing costs.  Many of these were then, in turn, slabbed  by one of the two premier grading services, either PCGS or NGC.  This is the FIRST .99999 pure gold coin ever minted and was produced only as a TEST COIN.        The leading dealer in Canada is currently offering this coin in MS 69 grade at $3559 while an identical coin in  MS70 grade was recently being offered by a different dealer at $17,500 on ebay!...The investment potential is superb given its rarity and beauty and it represents a safe haven for money in uncertain financial times (spot gold $888)!.  For those attempting to own a complete set of gold maples or the first .99999 pure gold coin, this is a must have!....        The coin pictured below is the actual coin you will receive.  Shipping will be FREE via Federal Express to the USA and Canada. Personal checks must clear before shipping occurs.  Sales to Southeast Asia  are not accepted.  Please feel free to ask any questions and good luck bidding. Place a Bid!
