“The coin weighs just 1/500th of an ounce”
That’s about 3 dollars worth of gold, being sold for over $200. I suppose that’s not how collectors think, though.
That is about 1 grain of gold. Back when gold was only around $30 per ounce a company made a bunch of 1 grain gold bars and encased them in a postcard type advertising piece. It was a good marketing idea.
