<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PS-CT, post: 2112189, member: 74106&quot;]Hi All. New to Coin Talk, but a long time collector.&nbsp; I recently inherited this purported 1846-C Coronet Quarter Eagle gold coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://s22.postimg.org/a9egcu1pd/Obverse25_Eagle.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://s22.postimg.org/hqs95sgm9/Reverse_25_Eagle.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Real, or fake?&nbsp; The coloring of the metal in the damaged areas seems to be non-gold.&nbsp; It weights 4.13 g, which matches with the reported weight of 4.18g.&nbsp; I have not been able to locate any guides to ascertaining genuine examples of this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; Assuming real - what would the areas of damage be called?&nbsp; Obviously, mint error, or post-mint damage?</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; Also assuming real - your best guess as to grade?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
