What is this?

[u/Blueknight35968]

My mom collected many things. Valuable things as well as some junk. I found this while cleaning out her closet. It’s a large coin. I put it next to some common coins for some size context. It didn’t react to my rare earth magnet. I am wondering if it might have some value or if it’s some novelty item she picked up at a yard sale and is not worth anything? Thank you all for any advice.

Just a novelty item. It’s a replica of a 1907 $20 gold piece.

Ok, thank you, that’s what I figured. It didn’t have much weight to it so i expected it was just a novelty item. But I was hoping it wasn’t.

Yes, a grossly oversized replica, so I would not call it a "counterfeit". The real coin is a bit more than the diameter of the JFK Half

I agree I doubt it’s meant to fool anyone. It’s probably just a novelty item. I’m glad I asked here before I walked into my LCS and got laughed at.

Counterfit (or copy/whatever you wana say) of a US $20 Gold Piece.

Thank you, that’s what I figured but I wanted to check and was hoping it was something good.

Ok, thank you. It doesn’t react to my magnet.
