It is very likely that your coin is a counterfeit. That date looks very odd.

I agree date doesn't look right.

Thank goodness I did not get excited and buy it. I took a picture to research it a bit more. I am very glad I did. Thanks to you guys and coincommunity.com!

I have decided that this is definitely a counterfeit. It is a pretty darn good one!

Why would someone make a counterfeit that is not identical? I have heard of gold bars being drilled out, but this coin copying in which the copy is not an exact copy does not make sense...

I would go to the pawn shop and tell them it is fake, show them the thread and try to find a match for it on the black cabinet or something. Then offer $5-$10 just to keep it as a study piece, send it to a counterfeiters expert and to know you did good by keeping it from fooling others.

Obvious counterfeit. Another Chinese import.

Amaing how they did such fine work on the devices and such poor work on the date!

They must have made it not identical because of some unwritten code. Anyone know about when this was made? BTW the mint mark I think is an S or a 3! I will get back after I talk to the owner and look at it again.

Look at the obverse relief too, it's off. It has that light relief to it.

CoinHuntingDrew, so you are saying that the obverse's rim, letters, and the eagle's feathers, etc. are slightly more shallow than what would be real?

thedollarman, I offered him $5 each. He replied, 'haha, No.' Is the outside of this gold plate? What would a counterfeit coin like this actually be worth?
