<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Market Harmony, post: 743083, member: 20154&quot;]Ok, thanks for all the help and feedback.&nbsp; I&#039;m glad you guys were able to spot it as a fake.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The feedback got me thinking about this coin, so I had it tested <i>again</i> via XRF assay.&nbsp; If you&#039;re not familiar with what this is, then this link will explain it better than I can: <a href="http://www.niton.com/Niton-Analyzers-Products.aspx?_kk=niton%20xrf&amp;_kt=b88f50a9-3a6f-4662-abcf-3e3337f4beae&amp;gclid=CNnQ4-2enZ4CFZho5QodpVcFsA&amp;sflang=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.niton.com/Niton-Analyzers-Products.aspx?_kk=niton%20xrf&amp;_kt=b88f50a9-3a6f-4662-abcf-3e3337f4beae&amp;gclid=CNnQ4-2enZ4CFZho5QodpVcFsA&amp;sflang=en" rel="nofollow">LINK</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The assay results are 89.9% gold, and the coin weighs 8.4 grams.&nbsp; This meets the specs of the US Mint issued coinage.&nbsp; So, I&#039;m wondering why a fake would be made that is just like the metal specs from the mint?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, by the way, the serif on the F looks enlongated because that is damage.&nbsp; It is not struck that way.&nbsp; If you look at the original picture again, you can see the shiney glare from a gouge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
