<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1682146, member: 19463&quot;]That is not a flippant answer but the full truth.&nbsp; Any collector needs to become familiar with gold before buying any coin claiming to be gold.&nbsp; Gold has a distinct feel even more than its color.&nbsp; Even when gold is debased by about half (which ancient coins rarely were), it retains this smoothness and weight that brass, copper, bronze and anything else yellow just don&#039;t have.&nbsp; I suggest going to a coin store and becoming familiar with gold if they have anything unslabbed and circulated or to a jeweler wher you might actually see the difference first hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
