Probably gold coated, since a Sandow in solid gold would crash through the scene floor.

if it was solid gold, Phil Heath probably wouldn't be able to deadlift it off the floor

It's plated.  Based on the size of the trophy, I'm guessing $25K + its' regular cost.

No, the trophy is bronze, maybe they give it a gold wash, but they will never make the trophy out of Gold. It might be a joke or rumor based on the trophy that Sandow himself gave out during his own contest during the early 20th century,  that one was solid gold for first place, silver for second, and bronze for 3rd. During that time gold was around $18-19 dollars an oz.

It is fucken ghetto trashing someone on a personal level just cause you are a fan of the competitor he beat.. that is no class and trashy.. you are not exactly the classiest guy... no offence but you do fuck discusting prostitutes.. that is pretty ghetto.

So stop the whining. Kai lost and that is that.

Weider 'Sandow' is much smaller than 1901 Sandow original version.
Joe was selling his Sandow statues in 80's for $ 1000
Not worthy more than $ 400, 1 was sold on Ebay 4-5 years ago for less than $500
Nobody actually knows whats happened with the Golden & Silver statues from 1901 Great Exhibition ??
Eugene Sandow was giving away bronze statues to fitness clubs,royalty,strongmans of his era.
Father of French BB ,Professor Desbonnet use to have Sandows in his clubs , how many ??
Steve Reeves NABBA statue was 1 of those.
Serge Nubret at WABBA Mr.World presented Steve Reeves with Golden 1.
Seig Klein silver Sandow (sold on Ebay) is now in Melbourne gym .
The original bronze (1901) was on London auction 3 years ago, asking price was 8000 pounds (I think ??),but not sold, level of patina &
marble base confirm that was old statue.
How many Sandow statues actually exist ???
I knew about existence of 2 moulds for 1901 statues, I wanted to buy 1 of them & owner told me that he will think about it !.

Anatomy of a Sandow:

-The Sandow was created in the likeness of Friedrich Wilhelm Muller (aka Eugen Sandow)
-The ORIGINAL Sandow was made in 1891 by sculptor Frederick W. Pomeroy
-The gold plated Sandow was made in 1894 by Mullers & Sons foundry in New York
-The gold plated Sandow is 17" tall & 19 pounds, reported to be worth 500 pounds in 1901 (around $ 2600 today !?)
-Willam L. Murray was a gold statue winner at the Great Exhibition 1901

-Joe Weider Sandow statue:16" height & 17 pounds weight (bronze)
-Modern Sandows are made by Great American Bronze Works Inc.,

-Big ??? is, who was making Sandows between 1891 - 1894 & how many was produced ???
-How many statues was made by Mullers foundry since 1894 ?.
