This coin is in an upcoming estate sale that I may attend. I'm not really that well versed in gold so I thought I'd get the forum's opinion. Does this coin look authentic? I'm thinking it isn't worth a whole lot more than the melt value of the gold.

Your thoughts?

Sorry this is the only picture I have to go on currently.

Thanks,
Joe2007

Don't see any red flags from this one photo, common date, AU condition. Worth a bit over its bullion value.

Looks authentic, about AU-50/53.

Spot plus a little.

The obverse looks authentic.
Rest in Peace

They already had a $375 offer in hand so I decided to pass on this coin. Bullion value at $318 when I last checked.
