<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3256702, member: 26302"]Doesn't make sense. Faking a coin for just a few carats of weight is not really worth it for a coin this size. People of Apmex have seen more authentic gold coins than either of us ever will, and I have seen tens of thousands. Yours looks fine to me. Did it come with those gouges on the rim, or was that from testing?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are concerned about authenticity, get off of Ebay and see coins in person like at good dealers or coin shows. If you want additional protection, buy certified examples. I just bought a couple of weeks ago a PCGS MS63 double eagle for $30 over spot. I didn't buy it for the slab, but it doesn't hurt. Certified gold short of the upper grades is really cheap, and no they do not need to damage a coin to ensyre its real. ANY scrape testing IS damaging a coin, and I guarantee I could see the damage if you showed me the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
