A jeweler friend of mine has referred a customer to me to possibly buy several St. Gaudens $20’s.
What is the best authentication method? Weight/Mass?
What should authentic coins weigh ?

FWIW, many counterfeit gold coins are of the correct weight, diameter and gold content.
Thanks for the advice folks.
She ended up selling them already so I don’t have to worry about it (this time).
I’m almost relieved.
They appear to be real. The 1909/8 and 1913-S are better dates. Suggest have the owner get them slabbed by NGC or PCGS.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

graded coins are cool and you'll have a peace of mind
Perry Hall is correct, they look nice too although low res tends to look like mint frost sometimes

They sold before I could set meeting.

Raw gold is risky these days.... In addition to the above parameters, if such a deal comes around again, have them checked on a Sigma machine. Of course, as noted above, some counterfeits are gold, though probably not full purity. Cheers, RickO
agree
