It doesn't look real. The dentils along the edge, as seen in the other thread, do not appear uniform in size or shape. There also does not appear to be an outer rim around the dentils. Perhaps this is damage from the mount, but it may very well be a counterfeit.

 , from what I see in these photos, I think there is a good chance this one is not genuine. |

Compare the details of your coin with that of this PCGS graded coin.   |

Why did you crop the image to conceal the areas that were in contact with the jewelry mounts is that even the same coin? thats a heckuva photoshop job to make that trick happen if it is the same. |

Follow up question: If the local coin store told you it was real, what grade did they estimate it at?
And a favor to ask: can you please use periods, commas, etc., instead of one long sentence? It is difficult to follow your questions sometimes.
Thanks!

Not problem - effort appreciated on the spelling and grammar.
You mentioned that you had a coin store look at it to verify it was gold. What grade did they estimate it at?

Ok, if one store estimated it at 500 uk pounds, they must have had an idea of the grade in order to come up with that estimate. By the way, if they did offer you that, I would consider heading back there and accepting that offer and purchasing a slabbed one then pocketing the rest of the money. Current ebay sales for that coin are significantly less. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sad...tified&rt=ncHere is a certified one in better shape than the one posted: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1862-Gold-D...047675.l2557Good luck! |
