Can you still spend a 20 dollar "liberty coin"?

    Ok, so my grandma just died recently, God rest her soul. So one of the things that she left me that I got to inherit is some gold coin from like 1933- on the back it says its worth 20 dollars in United States currency- but I don't think I've ever even seen these coins before. Do people still accept this coin? Is it still good to spend as 20 dollars? Or if I try to spend it- are people going to reject it?

    I actually have 5 of them. But my friend thinks that they may not be as worth as much- because I guess like on the back of the coins they have like "copy numbers" or something? Like one coin has like "Copy # NC1288" or something like that. He says that like those coins aren't supposed to have those on there or something like that. So- i dunno how much these are worth.

    gold is over 900 a ounce and you cant hardly find coins at spot price (the market weight price ). make damn sure you take them to several dealers in person before selling them if that is what you choose to do. even if you choose to hang on to them i would still shop them around to see exactly what you have..

    let us know how it turns out..
