<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 4855807, member: 24314&quot;]Perhaps.&nbsp; It has been a long time since a low alloy of gold was struck into a coin with numismatic value far above it.&nbsp; By the 1980&#039;s there was rarely a difference between the gold in a genuine or fake.&nbsp; Obviously, $3 and $1 gold coin produced the most profit. Today the value of a common $20 is often just a little over melt so your question makes sense.&nbsp; Nevertheless, fakes of these coins from &quot;never-seen-before - &quot;new&quot; dies still show up.&nbsp; Everything is counterfeited.&nbsp; You&#039;ll often find one or two counterfeit 20 Fr&#039;s in a fresh tube from Europe.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see nothing suspicious on the OP&#039;s coin but the fakes are so good that magnification is usually needed to be sure.&nbsp; In any case, This coin is not one of the low alloy, poor color Lebanese fakes of the 70&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
