<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1925433, member: 66"]Different trace elements in the gold that come from the source of the gold can cause slightly different tinting to the gold. Serious specialists in gold can look at a coin and tell from the color if it is right for that date and mint, or at least for the era. That is why sometime counterfeiters will sometimes melt down real coins from the right time period in order to make fakes of a better date and mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
