[QUOTE="GoldCoinLover, post: 332177, member: 4336"]Thanks for the reply. It seems pretty hard to find too. No matches found on ebay or google search. I'm going to take a conservation, authentication and grading class at the ANA national money show in phoenix in march. I don't feel like getting another book on counterfeit gold right now for my own sake. I worry too much about every gold coin I have being fake -- even the authentic ones. If only I could use this obession for good... :headbang: Oh, apparently it was mentioned GDJMPSP by other poster earlier in the thread. You misspelled the name which is why no results showed up.
