Look at the weakness in the feathers, Liberty&#039;s hair, and her outstretched arm. Look also at the speckled nature of it - I&#039;d bet this was made with spark erosion rather than die transfer processes. The lettering is quite weak and out-of-character as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may be real gold, and your fancy whiz-mo-dyne will tell you that.... but I&#039;m quite certain it was not made in the US mint in 1929.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, a genuine MS-62 of this date is worth ~$25,000....</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look here for a genuine example: <a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/saint-gaudens-double-eagles/double-eagles/1929-20-ms63-pcgs/a/1251-6103.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/saint-gaudens-double-eagles/double-eagles/1929-20-ms63-pcgs/a/1251-6103.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/itm/saint-gaudens-double-eagles/double-eagles/1929-20-ms63-pcgs/a/1251-6103.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
