<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 563983, member: 11521&quot;]Chuck nailed it - fake is fake. If this coin was not made by the US Mint it is fake. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know a lot of people submit a coin multiple times hoping for a bump in grade but I have never heard of anyone submitting a fake coin multiple times hoping to have it authenticated. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are some REALLY good counterfeit Gold Indians out there. This coin appears to be a fairly good counterfeit. (I say counterfeit because three TPGs have said it is counterfeit.) Your photos are much too small for me to see the details I need to see the small imperfections that prove it to be counterfeit. If you could post LARGE photos of the coin someone here may be able to point out some of those imperfections.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the meantime you may want to educate yourself on counterfeit detection. PCGS has a pretty good book on grading and counterfeit detection (but the counterfeit detection portion is limited). ANA offers a GREAT 5-day course on counterfeit detection at every Summer Seminar as well as mini-seminars at national coins shows. You can safe the cost of the course on one coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
