Cooks Islands 9999 Pure Gold $5 Saint Gaudens Coin 
Coin has 200 mg of pure gold worth about $1.25 us  
Coin is plated. Know what you're buying. Don't be a fool.
If you win one for more than $2.00 us dollars, you're losing money.

assuming that's milligrams and not micrograms, you're off by a decimal place - it's closer to $12... but... yeah...

plated/filled/bonded/etc has little intrinsic and/or resale value... it costs more to remove the plating than the value of the recovered gold...
