Question
I have a 1789-1989 gold coin, the 30 Presidents of the United States gold coin, is there any value for this coin?

Answer
Hi Sandra,
As far as I know, these were not produced by the US Mint.  Possibly they were made by a private company.  I seem to remember a few oil companies producing these as sales incentive.
Those were brass, not gold.  Also, coins by law must state a denomination such as 1 dollar.  If you does not have a denomination, they would be considered medals.
