Many of these worked their way into legitimate slabs. They were struck from hand cut dies, using correct U.S. coin gold standards. They were created to smuggle conflict gold into the Middle East past the watchful eye of the Brits and the UN, because (apparently) classic coins were not considered conflict gold. The skill of the diemakers was exceptional. The skill of the coiners was exceptional, as was their attention to detail, including basining the dies using historic mint techniques and having the correct number of reeds on the coins. I fear the Chinese counterfeiters are rapidly closing in on this level. Report this Post to the Staff

And not larger like the Sudbury gold coin monument medallion which is much larger, which some unsuspecting people have bought at real gold prices.
