This is a completely unnatural look for classic US gold. The obverse looks EF, but everything else looks UNC; another bad sign. The rims look like nothing I have ever seen on a genuine $3 gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2</p><p><br /></p><p>The first thing that struck me was the mushiness in the obverse detail. I saw the rest of my above points as well. The clincher, however, are the presence of pimples and spikes (toolmarks) on this coin. For example, look at 2:00, 3:00, and 7:00 on the obverse, and look at 12:00-2:00, 4:00, 5:00, and 8:00 on the reverse, particularly near the rims.</p><p><br /></p><p>#3</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this coin to be genuine. It has the &quot;look&quot; of a genuine circulated half eagle. The acid test make have been done from a non-numismatic gold dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
