<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 701190, member: 112&quot;]To a large degree, the weight answers that for you. Would a person wanting to pass the coins as money make them to have more gold in them than a genuine coin ? Not likely.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, there were factories in the middle east that turned out counterfeit gold coins back in the 50&#039;s and 60&#039;s literally by the ton. The coins had the right gold content and the right weight and the correct designs. Some were even good enough to fool the official of some mints. But they were fakes all the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the reason they did this was so that they could sell the gold during a time when it was not legal for people to own gold. But it was legal to own numismatic coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
