stev0190 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 2:31 pm Hi all, I know nothing about coin collecting so I am in need of some help. My great uncle recently passed away and I found a gold coin among some of his old stuff. Just doing some google research it looks like a 2011 american gold eagle coin... but there seem to be some differences from any of the ones I have seen images of online, specifically on the back of the coin. Take a look... is it real, counterfeit, or something different than what I am thinking? Any ideas about what is the probable value of the coin? Sorry if the image quality is poor. Thanks in advance for any help. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

stev0190 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/25/2018 3:15 pm I guess the real questions are, is it rare? is it worth anything or worth holding onto? Is it even real gold or is it just plated? And why cant I find any pictures of a coin the identical backside? Report this Post to the Staff
