    Nice looking piece of gold. What is up with "America" on the obverse?

    You must be referring to the 'Longacre' doubling on the lettering. It affects most designs of the Longacre period. It's believed that it's caused by the letter punches being driven into the die too far, creating an impression of the base of the punch around the letters...
