Here I am again with a Gold coin. If you remember my last thread...my Dad had a fake 1911 $10 piece...so I told him about what you all thought about it and he pulled out this $20 piece and said see what they say about this one ....So here I am again ....

xf45-Au50, cleaned, probably real.

XF most likely real maybe light cleaning hard to tell from pic

Looks like the real McCoy to me. Cleaned? Coulda fooled me.

Cleaned, but it looks real

I don't see any evidence of it being cleaned. Where are the hair lines? The scratches all seem to be random and in different directions. Hairlining is usually parallel...

Whether it's real or not you can try to weigh it and see if it is correct.

I'd also say real and XF. Doesn't seem cleaned.

XF/AU and absolutely genuine...

Is it worth trying to get this slabbed?

Depends. If you want to sell it, yes. If you want to keep enjoying it as is, then flip a coin.
