Since its gold I think its not NEAR as easy to spot than for old silver. I have a coin that looks like its in uncirculated details but it just doesn&#039;t look right. It was made in 1897. It&#039;s a gold french angel. I ordered it from a reputable dealer (or so I thought). I also have a mexican peso 5 peso gold coin restrike from 1955 from which I don&#039;t think is cleaned. I&#039;ve put them in photos for comparison. I also included a link to what my french angel was supposed to look like before the dealer sent it.</p><p><br /></p><p>This first photo was in bad lightning.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second photo is in direct sunlight. Notice you don&#039;t see the dark line through the 5 in 1895[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
