Your Opinion: $5 1911 Indian Head

My question:

Is this piece legit?
There are some red flags.
Some prominent marks as in the book of Mike Fivaz decribed.

And no edge on pic. either. Maybe we are being hoodwinked.

 

What’s up with the chin

 

I’m in for 50 too

 

The chin

 

No, it clearly shows wear.

Weight is correct. What’s the exact diameter?

 

I'm 100% sure that this coin is a counterfeit.

 

That's the way it is This coin is a very good fake. I wanted to see if americans know their own coins
Congratiolation to Rheingold, who was the first one finding out the truth!

 

I wanted to ask "Why so many pics?" I chose not to ask.

 

So a foreigner? testing Americans? For what purpose? To get a laugh?

You know, the members here on Coin Talk !! trust each other to be honest and straightforward. You could have simply posted your pics and stated " Is this coin fake? " and you would have gotten opinions from the members who are familiar with these coins, and that would have been the Honest and Forthright way to go.....but you didn't. You obviously did it your way on purpose just so you could complain about Americans and call us stupid.
How about instead, if you change the word stupid to trusting....as in "trusting of our fellow members"?

Why don't you tell us which country you are from so we can talk about you, your countrymen, and your nation so we can get a comparable laugh?

On second thought, Please don't. I'd rather not participate in such things.

 

The person alluded he was from Germany. I agree with you, but should he respond, don't take the bait and get into a ....... contest. I don't want you to lose any privileges on CT.

 

I know this looks like Monday morning quarterbacking but I questioned the authenticity of this coin too. Maybe you guys are rubbing off on me.

 

Since I have absolutely no knowledge or experience (meaning I don't own any) concerning gold coins, I also did not respond.


Robert, I understand your point and, trust me, I will not.
On that note, I edited my comment several times before posting it.
