Oysterk Valued Member United States 88 Posts	Posted 08/21/2014 11:11 pm Hey guys, I saw this at a local auction, and I'm wondering if it's real or fake. I haven't bought a lot of gold before. Also, if you know the value of it, that'd be helpful too. Edited by Oysterk 08/21/2014 11:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If I was interested, my bid would be AGW value max. only, = $60. That would be with State taxes included in the bid. Report this Post to the Staff

Remember we're talking $60 value tops and if you have not handled small U.S. gold coins in the past, skip it. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
