[QUOTE="Chris Winkler, post: 7811372, member: 113606"]After watching the PCGS counterfeit detection video on gold coins, [MEDIA=youtube]8fZ-LfKG3Ks[/MEDIA] I have to believe the coin is fake. [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/393465423857?hash=item5b9c5de7f1:g:YNwAAOSwLplg~lRN[/URL] The "T" and "D" in United on the left reverse, the gouges & scratches in planchette, the ugliness of the eagle head that looks like a skull, the poorly struck body, and on the obverse it looks like its a gold plated coin that has worn off the high spots, no luster, highly porous finish; it was never meant for circulation and I looks like it was. And look at the "S" to the right of the date, not straight, parallel lines. What say you? [ATTACH=full]1342009[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1342010[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
