BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 10:08 am Hi that coin screams fake, but the first step to proving that would be to weigh it on a gram scale. It should weigh 16.7 grams. I am pretty sure that will settle it. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 17422 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 10:20 am All you have to do is compare it to a photo of a genuine coin. It is definitely a counterfeit. The stars are wrong, the date is wrong just for starters. Almost forgot to the CCF Edited by JimmyD 10/13/2022 10:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 75184 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 10:29 am Agree the date logo looks wrong - the 9 should not be taller than the other numbers. And the reverse looks comical. Total fake. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

wallyb Valued Member Canada 478 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 7:35 pm The first thing that jumped out at me was the lock of hair which prominently covers the lower half of the space on the 'B'. Compare that with a genuine coin, for example the 1911 on the PCGS site. No question this is fake. Report this Post to the Staff
burfle23 Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 10/14/2022 07:53 am A lot to not like about this one... Would be interesting if a sigma showed any gold! Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 3814 Posts	Posted 10/14/2022 10:43 am There are a lot of high quality gold fake coins on the market. but I would not put this one in that category. This one is a one look fake, and I would be surprised if the weight was correct. My guess is that the coin is not made from gold. The CCF members above provide more than enough information on how to tell that the coin is a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
