<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Trivett, post: 3567918, member: 103507"]I recently came across this beautiful $1 gold piece and immediately seen the thick lettering on the obverse. I bought it and once home and able to observe much closer, it didnt take much to see the strong spread across the obverse and maybe even, a very light spread on the reverse. Excited, as I'm sure you could imagine, I posted to a group trying to get any info, I couldnt find any.. I got some likes and awesome find's until I was told it was counterfeit and the comment section disabled. I couldnt believe it, weight checks out, I'm thinking if that's a counterfeit it's a beautiful one.. I feel like now, I must tell you the back story of this coin and many that I have.. On the upper left hand side of this coins slip and many other coins that I have, display the number seven. I noticed that the coins barring the #7 had an error and at the antique store when I went back to buy the rest, I asked the owner the meaning of the seven and he tells me, it's to keep track of the overall total of a previous estate owners property, that he had passed away and had owned a coin shop in the early 80 mid 90s. So, makes me wonder why this man would collect a counterfeit coin and its beautiful, why wouldn't whoever made it, not make it a better date? Any info would be great, I was gonna send it off to get graded surely they'll know more up close and personal with it. Thank you and I apologize for such a long paragraph.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
