Every one of those coins has the look of a contemporary Chinese fake, IMHO. The coloring, the letters, the dentils.
It's normal for the high-relief issues.
The Mint's pricing charts indicate prices in the $3700 range for 1oz gold coins at current spot prices. I wouldn't expect this one to be THAT much...
