Thoughts on authenticity would be appreciated... Although seeing the luster of the $5 and $10 gold pieces from my previous threads I'm not interested in this one...just trying to learn the series.

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 04/19/2024 1:24 pm I agree IGE. I also don't like the condition of the coin. I own a $10 indian and the detail on this coin doesn't feel the same. Nor does it feel the same as the other $5 and $10 gold pieces. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36571 Posts	Posted 04/19/2024 2:20 pm One thing I don't like about this one is the lettering size variations on the reverse. Here is a PCGS photo of a genuine P mint reverse. Look at the F in FIVE. Many other letters are irregular. Looks like a red flag to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 04/19/2024 4:35 pm Sorry... 8.36 g Usually,if weight is wrong on one of these I don't bother bringing it to the forum. Edited by Roma2021 04/19/2024 4:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/19/2024 4:45 pm IGE makes a good point, but the quality of your photos makes it difficult to compare. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/19/2024 6:26 pm I don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling here but it's a common date so the gold content is what's important (value-wise). The weight is perfect so if it's dimensional correct you have about a 1/4 ounce of gold worth $600 (even if it's a gold slug). It's AU so even a genuine piece is worth $600.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36571 Posts	Posted 04/19/2024 8:44 pm My guess is this one is a 1970's Lebanese counterfeit. They were correct on weight and sometimes even better in fineness as they were used as a way to sell gold at that time. Report this Post to the Staff
