<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 492826, member: 1674&quot;]Doug, a lot of the marks you circled look indented to me like typical AU gold coin chatter.&nbsp; The exceptions are the marks in this image:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachments/38019d1231004167t-rev-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot tell if they are incuse or in relief.&nbsp; If they are in relief then I agree the coin is NG, but if not, I couldn&#039;t say for certain.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the problems with authenticating gold from images is that color tones matter and it is impossible to see an image and <i>know</i> exactly what the actual coin loks like color-wise.&nbsp; Our 2 best authenticators wouldn&#039;t even use a loupe to look at this coin, they would be able to determine authenticity by color alone.&nbsp; The &quot;Lebanon luster&quot; is just a little off from what genuine coins should look like.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, without seeing it in hand I am unwilling to say either way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
