<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bama guy, post: 297367, member: 6154&quot;]Hello group. First I must apologize for not being able to post a picture but&nbsp; I need some help and advice.&nbsp;&nbsp; Today I went to a coin shop.&nbsp; I decided to take my 1895 s Liberty $20&nbsp; with me to get the dealer opinion of the grade.&nbsp; One guy looked at it and said he was not an expert on gold&nbsp; and took it to the other guy who was busy eating lunch.&nbsp; Later he came out and&nbsp; asked me &quot;where did I get it&quot;.&nbsp; I explained that it had been in my family for at least 30 years.&nbsp; He then stated that it looked liked a fake and not a very good one.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Strange thing years ago I took it to another dealer who wanted to buy the thing.&nbsp;&nbsp; I respect this last dealer opinion but would like to pursue this further.&nbsp;&nbsp; I noticed that the color does not look quite right and there are some light scratches&nbsp;&nbsp; but&nbsp; an absence of any bag marks except for one just above her eye. No mint luster but it appears to be a lightly circulated coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My question would be what would be any recommendations on the next step.&nbsp; Would the absence of bag marks be a good indication that this coin was indeed a fake.&nbsp; Would having it accurately weighed be the next step.&nbsp; Thanks and have a good holiday:hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
