Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 07/27/2020 11:11 pm The lettering looks fuzzy and not sharply struck, and the edge doesn't look correct, so my vote is for fake. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 12:14 am Need to accurately check the weight. So far, it appears to be a fake in good quality gold, possibly 22ct or .900 fine recycled modern coin gold. XRF analysis should confirm the gold alloy. I would buy it for melt value only, after the above investigations, provided that the alloy is accurately known. Seeker55 has made some good comments. Until then, walk away from it.

In hand it might fool me, but blown up like that, it simply looks wrong.
