<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TOKENHUNTER, post: 1949782, member: 37910&quot;]I buy gold for long-term investment value. Over the years I&#039;ve collected a few Krugs. I only buy from reputable dealers who are numismatic experts, never fly-by-night CASH FOR GOLD places. </p><p><br /></p><p>A year or so ago I purchased one or two Krugs from my same people, and these coins do not have the exact same characteristic reddish-copper hue of the others I have. They look noticeably different, more gold, more yellowish. I noticed the difference right away at the counter and questioned the store owner, who said to me that in all the years he has been doing business, he has only seen 1 fake Krug, and joked that &quot;you could probably tell from across the room.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was just wondering if any of you have Krugs that deviate from the familiar copper-ish color enough to notice? </p><p><br /></p><p>I will attempt to upload or provide a link to a picture of these &quot;suspect&quot; coins at a later time, with an embedded color profile so that it displays with some accuracy if you view it in a program that can use color source. (With others for comparison of course.) Suspect is kind of a hard word, I don&#039;t really think they are fake. I am&nbsp; posting a pic of a &quot;normal&quot; Krug here at this time, compared to the very GOLD hued buffalo. If it doesn&#039;t post it&#039;s not for lack of trying.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though I am not a coin expert, I do trust my eye and thought the question worth posing. My coin dealer is a gem (pun) and he would certainly trade the coins for others if he felt I wasn&#039;t satisfied. In fact he offered to do that when I came back the next time and raised this question. But at that time gold was trading more scarce and he wasn&#039;t able to lay out a selection of several coins for me to swap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
