<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pghpanthers2, post: 2970569, member: 16767&quot;]So I took the $2.5 and $5 Indian heads into the local coin shop today.&nbsp; The owner gladly took a look at each.&nbsp; He had no doubt the $2.5 was authentic and complimented it being a beautiful coin.&nbsp; He was less sure about the $5...</p><p><br /></p><p>The good: weight was spot on, tested as 90% gold, had good detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bad: color is off (too yellow, which is obvious), didn’t have the right sound when lightly dropped on desk (keep in mind this is a common date vf30), possible slight raise in field directly in front of the eye on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t know if it’s even worth sending in.&nbsp; Sounds like it may be a high quality counterfeit which is only worth spot (being generous) which in all honesty is about all a genuine in this condition is worth anyway.&nbsp; He didn’t want to say it was counterfeit but the color especially concerned him.</p><p><br /></p><p>He thanked me for bringing them in and i bought a nice Indian head cent that I needed for my set to thank him for the trouble.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
