If this was a counterfeit, it would likely be made of genuine gold and the ping test would not lead to any conclusive decision.

I believe it matches die pair Winter 16-M.
Suffering from bust half fever.

"Winter" refers to Doug Winter. He's the guy that wrote the reference book Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint: 1838-1861.

Silver dollars have Van Allen VAM numbers, Dahlonega branch mint gold coins have Winter numbers.

If you show that unslabbed, raw coin to most dealers they will not offer you anywhere near its true value and point out every flaw it has. Most are well versed in making lowball offers and few have a conscience when doing so.

99.9%+ it's the real deal. Might as well quit wasting time and send it off to ANACS for authentication and grading.

It's a wonderful coin no matter how it grades. Congrats!
