1 Dolar 1910 I Gold ?

Yes, that is a fake coin. It looks like an attempted copy of the Liberty design of One Dollar coinage. Is it your coin?

There are two things I like about this coin:

1. The 'I' mintmark. Must be from the Imitation mint.

2. The reproduced die crack on the Obverse.

Otherwise, 100% fake.

Is it actually real gold?

If it is real gold, you did OK. I wonder if this is a middle eastern counterfeit. I was talking with my local dealer one day and he was telling me about counterfeit gold. He said there are many counterfeits that are actually real gold. This seemed very strange to me (wouldn't you want to make a counterfeit with cheap materials?!), but he explained to me that in some countries it is illegal to own physical gold, BUT, there is one exception whereby it is allowed: if the gold is in the form of an antique. Thus, you hire someone to turn your gold bar into an antique coin. Since the coins were never intended to fool serious numismatists (only government beareaucrats!) the forger was not too concerned about making an exact copy or even using a date that made sense. That is the story I heard, perhaps a more seasoned member can tell me if I heard it correctly!

It's not a counterfeit if the date was never produced, and it's a lot cheaper to crate a jewelry piece if the coin isn't real.

I know what you mean,some people has made fake coins in UDSSR gold legal to bring,but that were copy
,not a fantasy.

However,I'll check a gold in the coin one more time,and weight it.
If it has modern made,I think there must be more pieces in web,and it's maybe only my opinion,but it looks for me not like "made in China" or modern made

And I don't understand,why is only one L in dollar!13 stars,number of leaves is the same,it was specially one L made,not a mistake.
Does any one knows,how many edge reeds must be on real dollar?

interesting piece

I wanna make a spectral analysis,to understand what kind of gold that is.Maybe it's gold from nugget?
For jewelry purposes struck it with edge reeds?Isn't easier to cast?

I think so too!But counterfeiting..,I wouldn't say it's a counterfeit, cause it's actually a fantasy piece,weght is not from real dollar.
There are 2 reasons for me it has been made:as whatever jewelry purposes or maybe as some private token,but issue didn't go ahead cause of some reasons.
I'd like to know,how many fine gold is in the dolar,if exactly 1 gr. fine,it could be as a 1 gr. private payment token issued?
