my great grandpa gave my aunt this st. gaudens looking coin... i think its kinda rare because i've searched and read some magazines and books and couldn't find it anywhere...
she let me look at it only once and she hides it in her vault... so i got curious about it and rare coins... and please take note-- the actual size of that coin is almost like a standard cd, it is large for a coin, so i think its a rare coin because of its large size.. the year indicated there is in roman numeral so i had no chance of converting it since i only took a peek at it...
i also tried e-mailing other coin-related websites but got no response...
is it really rare?
how much is it?
it really bugs me big time, so please help... thanks... hope to see any helpful response...

It is not a coin but a 3" or so replica. I have one also and I got mine at Saint Gaudens studio here in New Hampshire. His studio is less than 1 1/2 hour drive my house. it is run by the nation Park service. It is a copy of the high relief Roman numerals version. These large medals, they are really not a coin, have been around for many years. It is gold colored and not real gold. I also have one that has an 1877 Indian head cent on it. That is the rarest Indian cent. It to is 3-4 inches in diameter. The Indian goes back to the 1940's, for it has been in the family since then. They have very little value and can be bought still at the studio.
