Can anyone help me with this problem about a gold coin?

Question

I was looking online and I see a lot of these gold coins that say bar/scrap/bullion after it and I have no clue what it means. It says it has a $20 value. Is it a face value or what?

$20 ST GAUDENS GOLD MINI COIN RARE BAR/SCRAP/BULLION NR

Answer 1

if you are looking at an auction for the coin. Contact the buyer and ask them if it ir really gold.  My brother won a bid last week on eBay when they seller invoiced him it was $100.00 shipping fee attached to the coin. When the seller finally answered him he informed him it was gold plated.

be very careful!

Answer 2

The $20 is the value stamped on the coin.

BAR/SCRAP/BULLION is simply to cause the auction to appear in a search that contains any of those words (key word spamming).
