Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1134 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 4:17 pm Haven't seen one of these in Rome. It appears to have been improperly cleaned at some point. I know a lot of collectors really like this design but I am not crazy about it Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7380 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 4:24 pm I'm not an expert, but it looks correct to the one I have. With It being cleaned the numismatic premium should be low. At the current price of gold, I wouldn't pay much over spot for it. If the dealer is charging more than $75 over spot I would pass. Grey sheet is saying $395/$400 but that's not cleaned, so $350-$375 is a good price. It has $320 in gold.

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1134 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 4:31 pm Thanks @hfj, with gold what it is right now and my overall feeling of the design, I'll probably pass; I've been picky on gold since it seems to be a buyer's market.i just don't have as many options here.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 5:04 pm A lot of gold coins look cleaned because the metal is so soft. Can't see any evidence of cleaning here. Edited by Coinfrog 01/08/2025 5:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 6:49 pm Perhaps, but even casual handling can produce marks like these, and there may be some Die Deterioration. As stated, these images do not suggest a cleaning to me. Edited by Coinfrog 01/08/2025 6:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36916 Posts	Posted 01/09/2025 06:07 am I think this one might be a Lebanese counterfeit. This is what a genuine coin looks like in the eagle's tail feathers. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5704 Posts	Posted 01/09/2025 07:29 am Too many good counterfeits out there to risk buying a raw Indian quarter eagle, even if it has gold value. Probably wise to pass. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 193305 Posts	Posted 01/09/2025 11:05 am It would have fooled me, so I agree it is best to avoid raw gold like this.
