Any chance for some sharper photos with a little less brightness? Hard to tell surface quality and also authenticity from these.

I dont like how grainy the whole coin looks. I strongly suspect that this one is fake.

The surfaces and the soft edges of the devices don't look right, but better pictures would help.

Looks to have AU details but the nasty pockmarked surfaces suggest it is a jewelry piece. I'd expect it has evidence of a mount or damage from a bezel on the edge.
If weight is correct (close to 8.35 grams) I would presume it is genuine, but the surface issues reduce the value to that of the gold content.

I agree it doesn't look right especially the reverse and how off the eagle looks.

My phone over-processed the first pictures. With the naked eye the coin is looking very good, except a few minor scratches. These ones were made with a DSLR, but I didn't know how to use the light and what angle to use.   |

It's hard to believe the coin in the second set of pictures is the same coin that was originally posted. I see the similarities but the granular, pock-marked surfaces are gone as are some other detracting issues. How is that possible?

Do you have the means to weigh it?

Yes, it has 8.35g. Here is the proof:  First set of pictures was made with Samsung Galaxy S7 which over-processed them. Second set was made with Canon D3100. I assure you that is the same coin :). If it's neccessary I can take other pictures under different angles/lightning. Edited by rvllnx

I think the surfaces look so funny because it's been shined and cleaned to H-E double L. Otherwise, it looks authentic. I'd say the details look XF-45, but cleaned.
