<p>[QUOTE="GoldCoinLover, post: 777289, member: 4336"]Thanks guys. Funny, I was reading in a book today on grading that Indian head quarter eagle counterfeits will sometimes have funky luster (the coins being too yellow, these coins were 90% gold 10% copper and should have a coppery hue from the copper) The coins are too yellow because of the improper alloy of silver, creating the coin more white/yellow than reddish. Knowing your series is key. I touched lightly on this topic with the southern gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
