spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 02:25 am I suppose there's a chance. I'm sure a place that buys gold could test it.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 03:57 am Weight and size are OK, but take spruett001 advice and have it tested. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 07:01 am Pretty sure it is genuine, don't know of any counterfeits out there but is certainly wouldn't hurt to get checked out. Report this Post to the Staff
MachinMachinMan Pillar of the Community Australia 1985 Posts	Posted 09/21/2021 11:30 am Thanks guys, sounds good. Will look into getting it tested. Would be exciting if I actually found a gold coin amongst all those low value coins I was searching through. Report this Post to the Staff

I believe that's about $240 melt value (AUD).

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 09/24/2021 8:39 pm Take or send it to a bullion dealer or scrap jewelry buyer and have it XRF tested, but I am fairly sure that it is genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
