westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 05/29/2020 02:25 am Looks genuine to me and looks like it's been cleaned, too! On the grading scale I'd say "very fine details - cleaned". Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5668 Posts	Posted 05/29/2020 03:55 am Looks genuine, I don't see any obvious issues. But wait, aren't you supposed to have expertise on fakes? After all, you just won my counterfeit contest! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/29/2020 08:43 am I'll say high VF details (cleaned), although perhaps it's just an over-exposed image. Report this Post to the Staff

After all, you just won my counterfeit contest! @zurie I just started learning about fakes for your contest. I ended up really enjoying myself and have started digging into the subject deeper. I currently only own two coins - the one from your contest will be my third. Thanks again for the inspiration. Report this Post to the Staff
ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 05/29/2020 3:51 pm I agree with everyone above! Looks genuine, however, cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 05/29/2020 7:59 pm Looks OK if a bit weird. Can you weigh it? If the composition is gold it's VERY likely genuine. Should be 16.718 grams. Edited by fenton 05/29/2020 8:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JGpenny Valued Member Canada 153 Posts	Posted 05/29/2020 8:43 pm Negative - can't weigh it and don't want to ask owner to weigh it. Potential customer is friend. I advised him to buy something higher quality and slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff
