Not sure what you're asking. Which does it really look like - silver or gold?

Does it look genuine?
I try to handle as many American coins as possible... This forum helps me learn how to authenticate and evaluate. I appreciate these exchanges a lot.

Best place too start is with the weight.

In that case, I'd say it looks OK, common date in this condition.

Am I the only one who sees a gold coin in the first set of images and a silver coin in the last set? Hence my original question. If it actually looks like silver it can't be real.

Priced to stack? Gold is a little high right now, and this should sell close to bullion, around $2000 USD. If your seller has the jeweler's test kit for scrap I'd have him run it for you.

Well used but I don't see any red flags. If weight and size are correct, chances are it is genuine. If you intend to keep buying gold coins I would suggest you invest in a Sigma gold tester.

Thanks everyone.
IGE - I rarely buy gold in Rome. What I have bought I have bought from a more reputable chain and had everything verified.
I don't see much american gold here. Sovereigns and Krugerrands are much more common.
The few $5 gold pieces I've seen have largely been ME counterfeits.
So I may stick to buying silver here and gold in the u.s.
