    Fake, but not omega:

    The omegas:



    Are the coins actually gold?

    Yes, all are correct gold content/weight. The omegas just look better than the other counterfeit, in my opinion.

    How much are omegas going for these days? It would be the only way I could ever get a high relief saint. Might be fun.

    It depends on if you can find one for sale. The nature of them makes it hard to find a seller. I was able to locate these for people who knew I already had one and had reached out to me trying to buy it. There is a fairly hefty premium over melt, but you’re right, it’s about the only way is common people can afford a decent looking high relief.
