<p>[QUOTE=&quot;srkjkd, post: 198613, member: 7248&quot;]it is an old anacs au-53. picked it up last year to add generic gold to speculate on. bought this for 161.50 w/ gold around 620. i rather have these type coins than modern bullion, but that is only my preference.....steve&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; hey ..btw, can you please tell me why you feel the coin is altered? anacs does not note this and to be honest, i couldn&#039;t tell. i have not handled a lot of gold coins so i stuck to slabs. however i worked in retail jewelry including goldsmithing all thru&nbsp; my 20&#039;s. have taken many courses thru gia as well as working with guys that have spent their life in the industry. so i am familiar with gold in and of itself and relationship to working with it and its appearance. now, i do not have the same familiarity with gold coins. i never had the money to collect them. . so..i am insistent on learning...tell me the reasons for the altered surfaces on the coin... i simply couldn&#039;t tell but you have much&nbsp; more knowledge on this.&nbsp; i greatly appreciate you sharing&nbsp; your knowledge!! thank you....steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
