What is the value of a 1907 five dollar gold piece?

Answer 1

It depends on the condition. If it's in mint condition, it can be worth anywhere up to $380. However, if it's tarnished, the value drops significantly. Your best bet is to dip it in sulphuric acid and then scrub vigorously with a wire brush. Try to get as much of the tarnish off as possible.

Then take some correcting fluid, dab it on one side, and draw the face of Mickey Mouse on with indelible marker. Sign it "Walt Disney" and sell it to collectors as the earliest existing doodle by the great master.
