dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/15/2023 12:35 pm As long as your coin dealer is reputable, it looks like you have a very nice coin. That said, I agree that the photos are too soft and show no details that we look for to estimate a grade. I would get weight and measurements before purchasing. That's not an unreasonable request of a dealer. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/15/2023 12:53 pm Thanks for the correction. To me these pics lack the clarity necessary to make a sound decision. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1131 Posts	Posted 03/15/2023 2:13 pm Hello, I will ask the shop to send clearer pictures, or I may go see it myself tomorrow. These are not coin shops, but rather 'cash for gold' type places. The coin weighs right, but the shop also has an 1894 $10 Lib and it looks off. I have seen a $5 gold lib before in Rome that was a Lebanese/ME counterfeit, but likely gold. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 03/15/2023 2:20 pm Taking a look at this example, both of the coins look strange enough to pass on. Anyone seen a Rim Fin on the inside of the rim before? Maybe this was squeezed in a bezel before. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1131 Posts	Posted 03/15/2023 3:04 pm I have a 1910 D $10 gold indian which the forum agreed was an authentic specimen . . . and I am seeing enough redflags on this example pass. Overall, what sets me off on this one is that all of the details look very soft. I understand photos of gold coins can do that, but it just doesn't look struck. Report this Post to the Staff
