<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1794427, member: 112"]Given that your coin does show signs of color it's also a good possibility that it was a plated or gold wash counterfeit. The thing I find unusual is that there is so little color left on the coin. Typically they will look more like the one you linked to in the Stacks auction.</p><p> </p><p>Either way, it definitely not illegal to own a counterfeit so there are no worries there. The only way you could have a problem would be if you tried to sell it as a genuine coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
