<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 159585, member: 1674&quot;]This is one of the most commonly counterfeited series of coins (in fact it is one of only a handful of series where a complete date and mintmark set of counterfeits can be assembled).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Without pictures we won&#039;t be able to help you very much since we won&#039;t be able to tell if it is counterfeit (worth $5 or less) heavily circulated (and worth it&#039;s melt value), lightly circulated (worth a fair bit more than it&#039;s melt value), or uncirculated (possibly worth quite a bit).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, unless you are an expert (in which case you would already know the answer to your question) you need to be aware that even if it is genuine, this series is possibly the most difficult series to grade, since it has incuse devices (the image is sunken instead of raised on the coin) and gold tends to retain it&#039;s luster even after circulation.&nbsp; The experts have trouble grading these in person, a layman would be nearly lost trying to grade one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
