    Quick check........is it attracted to a magnet?

    The condition looks too good to be true for a 200+ year old coin.

    Start off by weighing it, or having it accurately weighed. Do not let somebody rub it on a stone to test it, or put anything on it. If it's authentic and in that condition, you want to do nothing to it.

    100% not a 1791 coin, it's either a modern replica or a fake.

    The coin looks "white" to me, so I really doubt it's gold.

    glad i got the truth that's all will still test for the gold and see if it is a replica as people are saying that the only fakes were from 1798 not sure if this is true as definitely not magnetic
