Hi All,
Any ideas?
Probably a counterfeit.
Note: Neither my nor the ANS's coin.

We need much better pics but it appears to be a counterfeit.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Agreed. Those are the best pics I could get. The coin is in Italy, which is also a little alarming.

It certainly strikes me as counterfeit.

It DOUBLE STRIKES me as a counterfeit.
USAF (Ret) 1974 - 1994 - The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Remembering RickO, a brother in arms.
A lot of counterfeit US gold coins were produced in Italy back in the 1960's which is not surprising since they manufacture a lot of gold jewelry there.

Would need better pictures to be sure... However, based on what is shown, I believe it is fake. Cheers, RickO
100% sure that's a fake. Pretty bad one at that.
