1911-D (strong reverse) {new photos}

Obviously, it is a strong reverse. Now if you are asking if it is genuine, the image is too fuzzy and the color is too bright to tell if the surface is original. I'd be suspicious. Please post a new image taken in fluorescent light. I see good things and bad things on the coin.

Authenticating a coin from an image can be very easy or impossible. You need to magnify the image as they do on auction sites and on PCGS Coin Facts. Additionally, the image cannot have the glare seen on most posted images as your first.

Your second set is much sharper; however, the magnification is too low. The color of the coin is closer to genuine in the second set.

You may need to take it to a local coin dealer as this date is heavily counterfeited. If you had it in the family PRIOR to 1965 it is probably genuine. If you purchased it "raw" at a price under $500 or on the internet, you may have a fake.

Send it in. Looks like the wire rim is there at the right of the obverse and the scalloped edge at top of reverse looks like it's there too. I'm no expert but it looks legit to me.

@Jason_UScoins ... Welcome aboard.... The incuse Indian gold coins are my favorites... If you can post straight view images (such as we see on TruViews) you will get better input on authenticity.... Cheers, RickO
