@SpecGotCoins "This guy wants 5o sell now"
Who is trying to sell and what is the price?
details are mushy, nose is wrong profile. Fakie is my take.

Don’t buy it. It may be fake and you can buy a real one in a slab for a few dollars more.

Keep in mind there is no Santa Clause in numismatics.
Use a little common sense.
Have you checked the mintage of the coin?
Have you checked the price guide?
Whaaaat

So what is the price?
That's the biggest red flag when it comes to numismatics. Coins are never much cheaper than price guides or recent sales, and if they are there will almost always be quite a few more for sale at the same price or close to it. But usually, the recent sales follow this closely and you can sort low prices from a mile away and stay that mile away.
Also, I think the coin is a counterfeit.

Seems like a great chance to pay some numismatic tuition, you will learn a lot.
Pass- The coin has a poor strike on the reverse and stars on obverse look strange. If you are being offered the coin below melt, there is a reason.
It might contain gold, but I'm pretty sure it was not made at the Philadelphia Mint.
The lettering in TWENTY DOLLARS looks really off to me. Fat and mushy. I’d stay away, especially with him pressing you to buy.

As they say, more red flags than a May Day parade in North Korea.

I don’t think the pictures are making it difficult to tell. The coin is counterfeit.

It screams fake and you should not be considering the purchase of unslabbed gold.
The pics are bad but they are good enough to tell it's a crudely made counterfeit. With the mushy details, it's either cast or struck from cast dies.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Bad to the bone.
Maybe you should find a different hobby, coin collecting is costing you a lot of money.

Don’t buy raw gold or key coins, by them slabbed as a means of insurance.
In a hurry to sell screams a whole lot of red flags. Not interested at any price.

I bet the appraisal process would go like this....

Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
Looks like a fake to me... several points specified above I agree with. Cheers, RickO
