Hello, friends! This is my first time posting in this specific main forum, so please let me know if I need to provide more information/ details / pics! I recently found an old coin purse containing older US coins & wanted to ask your assistance with the general condition, how to tell if it's real/fake, or really any information yall might have on some of the coins! I'll even take super interesting & fun facts about them!! :) I am specifically asking about a 1912 Indian head gold coin. I have included multiple pictures below. Any help or guidance is always appreciated! Weight: 4.19g Thank yall! - Ashton       |

Gold definitely isn't my specialty, but looks real to me and the weight is good. Sadly looks like a nasty scratch on obverse.

It looks okay to me, but definitely outside my area of expertise.  |

So far your 'old coin purse' find is proving to contain some interesting examples. How many more old coins are in there?
This coin looks authentic to me but I am far from an expert on the gold coin series.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. |

Please use them in the future. ***Hi!! I don't know how to reply directly or how to quote. so I apologize for the copy/paste text. The Purse contained. 13 Older US coins - I've posted about 4 of them so far (3 Dimes, 1 $2.5) 27 Silver Modern US coins - I have not posted any of them yet (spoiler: I think one of a clipped 1964 Kennedy half dollar) 30+ Foreign Currency/Coins - I have not started sorting these yet (Ranging from 1931-1980s)

Looks real to me. I'm not a expert on gold coins though.
Errers and Varietys.

Appears to be a genuine, circulated, common date Indian quarter-eagle. In the condition it's in there will not be a large premium to melt value. There's $320 of gold in it.

Appears genuine. Slightly better date.

I don't see any red flags, but this coin is commonly counterfeited and would be difficult to authenticate from photos alone. If it's a good quality middle eastern counterfeit, it likely is gold and would still have gold value.

Looks like an ex-jewelry piece. Worth melt value.
