The one in the picture sure looks counterfeit to me..

 

Me, too.

 

Looks to be some kind of pattern coin, if genuine.

 

Uh... That's exactly what Goloids are.

 

Several years ago I owned a genuine piece of this pattern. This one does not look right at all... But nothing like the free publicity for the "roadshow buyer".

 

Oh. I've never heard of them before.

 

Cant say I ever saw one before but it looks pretty fake to me the entire thing looks to bold or something.

 

Definitely looks fake. Can't help if this was a "plant" by the bullion buyers to get some free publicity and to shake some more stuff loose by implanting a "Gee, maybe I've got something too" thought into peoples heads.

And WHY do they put the picture of the coin with that silly rotation? Would they do a story about a car and show the car standing on end? Did they post pictures of any of the Golden Globe winners laying on their sides? Or upside down?

 

lol, yes, but not in the "traditional" press...
