How much does it weigh? Better clear photos could help. In most cases it's just damage. But you never know.
That's an unnecessary expense in this case. And unwarranted.
A lot of these gold coins, unless in the higher grades (or very rare) are just worth bullion value (or slightly above). At 1200 an oz I believe...
Verdigris on the reverse could be an issue. Looks as if someone tried to clean it off. Posting the photos, because sometimes they disappear....
Not an expert on this series, but it just looked bad to me.
Here's a nice one [ATTACH]
These coins that have been plated are not counterfeits. The Presidential dollars have a gold look (here's one I got today) but there's no gold in...

I thought the light and pink areas on the bust and the dark halos around the stars, were markers for it being cleaned. I'm not saying it's fake,...
The last photo does appear 1872.
That is an absolute beauty. Be nice to see the diameter listed on the label. It appears much larger than normal. Probably matches up well size...

I am also at 45. But I believe they graded it AU (50-53). Leave Ed Wood alone.
Old silver VF-20 max.
The combination of metals is prone to a variety of different patinas, toning and colors. Normal.
