<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 389835, member: 13342&quot;]BQ,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039; by no means a numismatic expert, but I have studied $3 gold pieces intensely for the last few months; mostly because I purchased one unknowingly that was fake. The fake I have passes the ring test, is of the proper dimensions and is the proper weight(It is made of real gold).</p><p>Here is a thread discussing it:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=35690&amp;highlight=gold+counterfeit" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=35690&amp;highlight=gold+counterfeit" rel="nofollow">http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=35690&amp;highlight=gold+counterfeit</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I were to guess, I would guess yours is real. However, there are fakes of these that are good enough to fool dealers. Its a coin that I would never buy uncertified(again) because of this; especially a low mintage one. This is just my personal opinion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would send this in to ANACS(they slab problem coins, and yours appears to have surface alterations), and make sure you can get a refund from the dealer if the coin is not genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
