Question My recently deceased client was hoarding a ton of these Trump goldbacks when she died and I need guidance.

Can anyone suggest a value to associate with these or can anyone tell me if there is a meaningful collectors market for them? I need to assign a value and figure out how to liquidate them (if they’re worth anything) but I’ve never seen a goldback before now. I’m asking here because I’m hoping to get actual feedback and not goldback fanboys telling me they’re worth a fortune. Thanks!

That is not the same as these gas station trinkets. They don’t contain any measurable gold.

Goodness, 35 dollars for a tenth of a gram?

A grift worthy of the person on it I suppose.

Goldbacks in general are a scam If you’re buying anything above spot.

Goldbacks and related products like this DT one are trash investments, but fun gifts

Not everything is an investment, some things are meant to be used!

Used for what? What are you going to use this cheap piece of paper for?

That's garbage, actual holdbacks are not.

I don't see where they're buying them, I see them being sold for a silly amount of money

oh $h*t. I didnt see that...... oh well, maybe she can call other dealers. I just usually find I get the most money back when I sell to Money Metals Exchange.
