<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1304814, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;d want to get that $3 sent in and graded asap just to know for sure it was authentic.&nbsp; I was reading a Coinage article last night from June 2010 on fakes and certification.&nbsp; There&#039;s a paragraph on page 16 that states that &quot; In the late 80s, it&#039;s estimated that 75% of the $3 gold pieces on the market were fake.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; After serious TPGs hit the scene, that dropped them down to&nbsp; maybe 10 to 20% .&nbsp; &nbsp; Also read somewhere in there that it was worth it for foreign counterfeiters to use actual real gold in the right content for their fakes because the numismatic premiums were so high.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Unfortunately, that&#039;s the reality we live in.&nbsp; Any ungraded $3 is suspect now.&nbsp; I hope it is a real one for you though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
