<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3123889, member: 92655&quot;]Fractional Gold is a very interesting and wide encompassing area of numismatics. I am by for not an expert but I have been exposed to them over the years. My opinion is just that. Only an opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have not seen a fractional gold piece that did not include a designers initials. They were privately struck and the designers were proud of their work and wanted to be recognized for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, I have seen crude engravings, but not quite this crude. Primarily on the Indian portrait. That screams token or replica to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I may be all wet. These pieces were not overseen by the mint and many many varied designs are out there. This looks more like a later period crude copy to me. Personally, I would pass on the piece in your photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
