i would like to buy this coin and i would like your input. http://cgi.ebay.com/1933-ST-SAINT-G...ryZ39472QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem does it look good?
It is a copy or replica. It is layered with 24k gold, which means very very little gold. It is nice to look at, a nice conversation piece, but thats all. Bottom line is is not a real coin at all. Serial number and COA mean nothing. I have one, it is pretty, I wish it was real. Keep on Collecting!!! Allen
how could u tell that it was a copy? i didnt see anything. what does "COA" mean? i will keep collecting.
"Copy" on the reverse, the auction lists it as a reproduction. The real deal sold for over 8 million. COA - certificate of authenticity. As they said - pretty copy of a nice conversation piece about one of the worlds most famous coins.
The listing title says it all - 1933 ST SAINT GAUDENS $20 GOLD DOUBLE EAGLE With COA @@ BEST DEAL & HIGHEST QUALITY ST GAUDENS COPY W/COA Coin on! Ribbit, Toad :smile
If you look very carefully below "IN GOD WE TRUST" on the reverse, you can see the word "copy" which the seller worked very hard to obscure by his lighting methods.
