    Ok everyone.
    My wife said a young man came into the bank today with a coin to exchange for cash, she told him she could not accept it and to find a coin dealer. You know what is coming up next like I have seen every coin every minted she asked me what kind of coin it was like I should know. She said the coin was the size of a morgan dollar and gold in color, on the obverse was an eagle and on the reverse was 20 dollar gold 1953 with the letters pc at the rim I told her it must be a after mint coin from some company. She also said the weight of the coin was light has anyone every seen a after mint coin that looks like this ? Laugh if you want I told her there was no coin of value that looked like that, then she said ask your expert guys you spend so much time with.

    From that description it could be anything and it doesn't sound like the design was anywhere close to that of a US double eagle. So I would not call it a fake. Could be a token, a foreign coin, a piece of play money, without a better description there is no way to give a sensible answer.
