<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2433277, member: 24314&quot;]PLEASE DO NOT MELT THIS COIN.&nbsp; It is worth its gold value to put into jewelry or to use to teach counterfeit detection.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What jumps out is this.&nbsp; The coin is blah.&nbsp; No real contrasts - luster is full and even.&nbsp; Alloy (color) is off.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now look closely at it (wish photo was sharper).&nbsp; When you see an uncirculated GOLD coin with full luster that is lacking details (check out the lack of veins in the leaves near the top of the wreath) so that it appears to be worn; 9 times out of 10 it is an older counterfeit.&nbsp; They make them much better than this today![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
