Pinnacle Mint Coins: How to tell year/metal - JChrist1732 - 08-25-2011 So I have 12 of these coins, 9 say 1997 while 3 have no date. How do I tell what year the other 3 year and, more importantly, what type of metal they are. RE: Pinnacle Mint Coins: How to tell year/metal - deuce6000 - 08-25-2011 Haha I think I got a Ryan Leaf one not sure about your question though all I know is that my coin looks all corroded so it's some cheap sort of something for sure. RE: Pinnacle Mint Coins: How to tell year/metal - shezdoni - 08-25-2011 the silver, nickle-silver, etc, are rather easy to tell the difference, as they are silver colored The solid golds and silver were redemption's only. To tell what you have, on the back of the coin in the center, there will be a line that states what the coin is. For example, nickle-silver will say nickle silver, the artist proof will say artist proof and then have a line like 1 of 250, the gold plated will say 22k gold plating or something along that line As for the solid gold's and silver, I have never seen one for sale anyplace, a lot of people get the gold plated, and the bronze mixed up, and think they are solid gold, and the nickle, and nickle mint, thinking it is silver, but I have never actually seen a solid gold or silver one RE: Pinnacle Mint Coins: How to tell year/metal - JChrist1732 - 08-25-2011 Thanks for the response, but I don't see it mention the type of metal anywhere. None of them are silver or nickle. There appears to be two diffrent versons: a headshot and a full body. I have a Brett Favre of each. Not sure if that helps or not. RE: Pinnacle Mint Coins: How to tell year/metal - deuce6000 - 08-25-2011 Not sure if you have done this yet but go through this and maybe it will help you out. These are all his "coin" cards. http://www.beckett.com/search/#term=Pinnacle+brett+favre+coins&tmm=all RE: Pinnacle Mint Coins: How to tell year/metal - Marinocollector - 08-25-2011 Those are probably 1997's. The body shot could be an insert or the subset from 1997. If they are the 1996's they do not state the difference in metals. The real gold and real silver come in plastic cases and jewel boxes. RE: Pinnacle Mint Coins: How to tell year/metal - jaderock - 08-25-2011 As for what you have...you have all "base" Brass Coins! The 1997 coins are easily identified, but people ALWAYS think they have a "gold" or "silver" coin. With the exception of the Brass and Nickel, all other parallels state what they are on the back: Gold Plated, Artist Proof, Solid Silver, etc The Solid Silvers were inserted into packs. but the Solid Gold were redemptions. The REAL Gold McCoy of Dan Marino! Buddha, I wish I never sold it! RE: Pinnacle Mint Coins: How to tell year/metal - anonymous_1438119918 - 12-25-2015 Hello. Was looking for a little guidance, I have opp to buy a 24k pure gold NFL pinnacle coin for a semi-higher named player. Any idea what their values are Today? The PMC series isn't very popular but to what seems like a small cult following, so I think prices should be fairly reasonable, no? . Any thoughts much appreciated!

Gold is currently $1076/oz Hope that helps.
