<p>[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 564470, member: 15445"]<span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Wasn't there a time in the USA when it was illegal to hoard gold bullion except in the form of rare coins etc. Japan was the primary source of many die struck gold coins which are really <u>really</u> good looking. In fact they are better looking than many US mint products. The counterfeits seldom have copper spots, they seldom have die cracks, and they seldom show much die wear. Basically, if it looks really nice, then it might not be a US mint product. There are die markers you can look for on several know die struck counterfeits.
