Morning, Eduard! Another very attractive coin you have for us-- I think it has AU details, from where I sit there appears (emphasize uncertainty...
nice addons, guys- thanks!
Hi, rh287, you're not an idiot, just someone who trusted someone else to be honest about what they had for sale. I think we have all been where...
I like 'em both! A very cool series.
I agree with all of the above. I would be concerned about authenticity, as well as condition, if genuine. eBay has become a dumping ground for...
I think that's a safe assumption.
The seller of this item has been the subject of posts on the Coin Forgery eBay group on a number of occasions. On several occasions, it was the...

That's an excellent point, I had noticed that on the real ones there is a bit more of a leg remnant, usually on the fakes the hoof looks cleanly...
I probably don't have to tell anyone this, but please, only buy $3 and $1 gold properly certified, as fakes abound! (could be extended to all US...
I think it's a neat coin. What I really like, is that there is a lot of 'dirt' in the devices, so I don't think it's been subjected to cleaning,...
Just my opinion, but if you carefully study the random scars, spots, marks, etc, you will conclude it is the same coin. It appears to have been...
To me, it looks VF, cleaned with a couple of significant dings-- $5-$6?
