Hi folks,

I am wondering if someone can advise as to whether this Mormon gold coin is potentially authentic or even worth having authenticated. I have uploaded two pictures. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to CCF!

Looks like a cast fake to me.

Charles M Larson shows one of these of the cover his book
NUNISMATIC FORGERY. That fake was made from good gold, retrieved from worn gold eagles.
From the pictures published in his book, there was no way I could pick it from a genuine piece.

This one looks to be much rougher than the fake shown in Larson's book.

Not a chance of being genuine. Cast.
