    My Golden rule: never buy gold unless it's certified by PCGS/ANACS/NGC. This one looks baaaaaad.

  • I would say that it's real, but likely cleaned/damaged.

    If I ever decided to buy gold, you can bet your ass that would also be my rule. I could get screwed in a heartbeat buying raw. Too many of the fakes look real to me.

    It's real and I have a proposition for anyone that disagrees:

    Buy the coin for roughly $250. If it's fake, I'll give you $1000 for it. If it's real, you give me the coin. First qualified response before midnight has a deal!

    Authenticity was only half the question. Same deal if it's cleaned?

    No. The coin does look like it has been lightly cleaned. Of course, at this grade, light cleaning hardly affects the coin's value.
