[QUOTE="D-Train, post: 2951140, member: 86758"]Hi guys, I just bought this raw 1912 gold quarter eagle off of eBay and while it was on the way to me I read that this is the 11th most commonly counterfeited US coin in history.

I would appreciate your opinions about this coins authenticity and if you could also tell me what you believe it would grade as well I would be thankful. Do the dimples on the obverse change it's grade? Should I submit this to NGC or PCGS for grading/authentication? Thanks & Happy New Year!
