<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 22643, member: 112&quot;]Now that makes more sense. It doesn&#039;t change anything regarding the coin being fake - that it is a given based on the legends. But it does help explain the possible origin of the coin and makes your situation not so bad after all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be willing to bet that the coin was made in one of the counterfeit factories located in the middle east. They commonly used real gold to make the coins, but either made them slightly smaller or used gold of a lesser finess to make their profits. Do this with literally millions of coins - and you make a lot of money.</p><p><br /></p><p>So - given the size and weight - the coin is likely gold. But it would have to be assayed to determine the melt value. But either way - it&#039;s gonna be less than $50. Better than nothing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
