    Could someone please tell me if the pictured coin is real - it's gold but not sure if it's authentic.

    Thank you

    It doesn't look obviously fake to me- I'll go that far. If the gold tests out OK, I'd be inclined to think it's real, if it matches up with the standards for the issue.

    Based on the photos I'm incline to say no, but weight and diameter information would be helpful.

    The color is odd, but that might be lighting. The style is crude and the denticles along the rim don't look right.

    For comparison here's one on eBay, slabbed by NGC, that's available for a mere $17,795.
