There are some coins on which expert opinions are divided.

Here's a link for one of them:

1861 Clark Gruber $20

Do you think it's real?

Since it is on the ANA site I would say yes!

I disqualify myself since I read the E-sylum.

At first glance, my first thought was "no".

I don't know if it's real, but the engraver spelled "Liberty" wrong.
