trimble Valued Member Canada 298 Posts	Posted 11/15/2018 10:40 pm Not sure if it is fake, just beat up a bit from haphazard storage. Pure gold is easily scratched/banged up, yes? Edited by trimble 11/15/2018 10:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 11/16/2018 1:52 pm Looks legit to me. Just had a bit of a rough life. As previously mentioned, pure gold is very soft and will mark/ding easily. Report this Post to the Staff
tripoli Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 11/19/2018 2:41 pm That is either a very poorly struck counterfeit or spent a lot of time in someone's pocket. Either way, it's not worth the asking price and to re-sell that would be problematic. Report this Post to the Staff
vonigohcr Pillar of the Community Canada 663 Posts	Posted 11/19/2018 3:33 pm The risk on this is too high. Given you can purchase 1 oz of gold (Maple, Brittania, Queens Beast etc.) from respected vendors in the UK (where this is located) for under 1,000 GBP (range is 960-990 GBP) where none of the quality or legitimacy risks exist... The arithmetic just doesn't work on this one. Move on. Edited by vonigohcr 11/19/2018 3:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
