Please come back. We want to hear "the rest of the story" (as Paul Harvey used to say).

And dude, if Fred Weinberg says it ain't real, at least post the name of the guy who told you it was.

Weight weight weight. Without it it’s all conjecture. I would imagine though that the mint Is really careful and exceptionally meticulous when minting gold coins from any era. They would know if any coins were missing from a run, especially a foreign customers order. So your cent equals one missing planchet and I don’t think they treated missing gold lightly. Weight weight weight. Just my thoughts not facts.

 

Gold plated 10 for $8.95
Unfortunately unscrupulous people try anything to make a buck.

 

Looks to me like bad job with gold leaf. I see some copper colored spots on the left wheat stalk, the E's in ONE CENT, and all over the UNUM. If gold leaf isn't applied properly it can have holes poked thru it during application.

 

Don't be a Sanford Saltus ! Unless you want to have an award named after you by ANACS.
