About Dan Moore Expertise My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library,
and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just
about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current
price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So,
with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value
any U.S. coin you have.
Experience I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.

Many years ago my father was given a gift from a very wealthy friend. I am not certain of its value or even the metal it is made of. It does have the name of Moffat & Co. stamped into it, so it may be a real gold ingot. I have attached some pictures that may enable you to provide a little insight as to what I need to do to established whether or not it is authentic and to establish its value
