Is this Gold Coin Real?

I figure I should just consult the experts. I know this coin isn't rare, but all of the chinese coin posts have me scared.

So is this coin real, and as worn as it is, is it worth more than spot?

Thanks

It looks genuine to me. It's nothing special, tho. I'd look for
a certified copy, myself.. Probably not cost more than a few
bucks over melt, and you'd sleep better...

Knowing exactly what it weighs would be a good first step.

It's hard to tell anything from low resolution scans.

if you don't feel safe with that, search for a powerseller with 100 percent positive feedback with a PCGS, NGC, or ANACS coin. your assurance is worth the extra 10%

It's probably real but it would be impossible to authenticate from those pics.

Don't buy raw gold. It is simply not worth the worry about whether or not it is genuine.

Real

If you are going to spend $1000.00 on some gold buy $30.00 worth of plastic to put it in.
And needless to say the host here puts coins into Plastic and guarantees that they are real they even go so far as to grade them too.
