Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 07/17/2008 2:12 pm Hi Thumper, Gee, from those pictures this does not look like a gold coin. I expect it is a replica made from non-precious metal. A genuine Oregon Exchange pioneer gold coin would be very valuable, probably worth well over $10,000 if undamaged. If you can weigh the coin, that might help determine the composition. A US $10 gold piece weighs about 16.7 grams and I expect the Oregon piece would weigh fairly close to that if genuine. You could also perform a specific gravity measurement. Real gold coins will have a specific gravity of at least 16 grams/cubic centimeter. A brass replica will have a specific gravity of less than 9. If you can post better photos it would also be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

If its not slabbed its likely it's counterfeit, with pictures we can at least get an idea. -PP <<<Edited by tights24. I'm pretty sure the "we want pics" was enough. There will be no name calling or "personal attacks" here, regardless of how innocent you think they sound>>> Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/17/2008 7:17 pm Hi, It is a FAKE.... On a real one, the C of COMPANY almost touches the lettering on tghe line under the word EXCHANGE. Also the N of OREGON on a real one is higher and does not line up with the third line of lettering as on your coin. Thanks, Bill Edited by foundinrolls 07/17/2008 7:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
