Have you had somebody with an XRF look at it?

XRF is probably not of much use in this case.
I think that this coin, if fake, it is most probably made from recycled 90% coin gold.

People will counterfeit anything for $100 much less a valuable coin. Yes, get it authenticated and you may have a nice Christmas surprise. I don't even buy coins online if they are not in a slab. Even face-to-face purchases are easier to consider if the coin is in a slab. What I found out was that slabbed coins online are often no more expensive than raw coins.

It looks like something is in the claw and it could be interpreted as an omega, but it doesn't match the mark on the known omega fakes, and I dont see the tooling marks on the obv that are seen on the Omega fakes.

I think the consensus is that this coin needs to be professionally evaluated/authenticated. For the potential value, it is well worth the costs of finding out what exactly it is.
