the thing that bugs me is that even if this is some kind of minting error, how can anyone know for sure? even PCGS. I mean, there are so few in survival that even if there were a few errors like this they would never see the light of day.

i am also reading that 90% of counterfeited gold coins are $1, $2.5, $3, and $5. that leavs 10%. the odds are really low that this is counterfeited.

My guess is it's an added mintmark. I'll look at a few more on Heritage. Your coin looks like a genuine 1911 Indian Eagle to me. It's the mintmark that looks bad.


Edit: I just looked at 5 or 6 more on Heritage and all have a mintmark that is lower and further from the rim than yours. The genuine mintmark is also a touch smaller.

The PCGS counterfeit guide says to check the rim for short, stubby tool lines between the stars. Can you an edge photo? This guide states "transfer die struck counterfeit $10 Indians are common".
