There is a thread here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22641688-MCMVII-Liberty-20-Dollar-Coin asking if the coin in question is a fake. It looks counterfeit to me, but I'm no gold expert. What say you?

    Fake, and almost certainly not gold.

    It doesn't have St. Gaudens initials under the date.

    The eagles's feathers look really cheezy.

    Oh my, look at Liberty's face! What happened to her?

    Also Saint-Gaudens would roll over in his grave if he saw that rendition of the Eagle. Ugh!
