| So - I just double checked everything- my little scale is reporting 13 grams even. All other text, tissue, magnet all positive for silver. I watched this coin for 7 days and no body bidding. The auction only had 1 other coin and it was not listed on advertisement page. Mostly all auction items were selling all contents of house of. Last 20 min of Auction only 1 other person bidding on it with me . Person got out at $151 dollar so I got it $152.. I'm going to send in for grading. Worst case, I get back a fake the I go after Auction Ninja for refund . I've been refunded before for fraud so no worries here. SO this is the one time I hope your wrong and pay down up coming Major Medical Bills. -- just please let me know your opinion who I should send for Grading? PCGS, NGC, Etc- would love cheapest one but not if it will hurt my bottom end. Never had a coin slabbed- so this will be my 1st! ---- looking forward to your response ---Regards Mike |

This is what I could find ——but no sales to be found- Gaspee Commemorative Coin was designed by Donald J. Breig, a Pawtuxet die cutter at the request of the Gaspee Days Committee. The obverse features the silhouette of the Gaspee surrounded by thirteen stars. The reverse shows the Independent Man and the legend, 'First Blow for Freedom'. On March 16, 1972, at Breig's die shop, 5 Aborn Street, Cranston, the Gaspee Day Bicentennial Commemorative Coin was struck. 1772 silver coins were made and sold for $10 each, and an unlimited number of copper coins were sold for $3 each.
The first silver coin was delivered to Governor Frank Licht, accompanied by Cranston Mayor James L. Tait and Warwick Mayor Philip Noel. Another silver coin was hand delivered to President Richard Nixon in Washington for inclusion in the Smithsonian Institution. The dies for the coins were destroyed on December 31, 1972.
