Message:: [QUOTE="Market Harmony, post: 737893, member: 20154"]There is one thing that I'm 100% certain of: it is not fake gold. The coin has been tested via XRF to ensure the gold content. It weighs 8.4 grams. Also, the gouge in OF is most certainly PMD. This was once a part of jewelry, and the damage occurred during coin extraction.  The reeded edge is very sharp. I cannot see the change in font size with the coin in hand. Perhaps the pictures are not representing the coin well enough. I did take this to a coin dealer yesterday to have him look at it. But, his trustworthiness to me was severely downgraded yesterday when I had him look at a bunch of other coins of which I know the grade. He must have thought that I was wanting to sell them, as all of his grades were well below every other opinion I have gotten on the coins. I then looked at a bunch of coins that he had in his cases, labeled "BU" and could see how he operates... downtalks a coin when he think he's buying it, and then trumps it up when he goes to sell it. Anyway, he lost a bunch of my future business. And, he also said that the coin is not worth more than melt value. He did not mention that it was fake.[/QUOTE]
