I was hoping that I might be able to get a steal on a coin that was advertised as a fake but was actually genuine. I had a tough time with this one as I had to compare it with closeups of pcgs pics of the genuine version. Very Very hard to tell its a fake if you don't have a genuine to compare it to. Seller claims its 90% gold so could be a great fake for melt value. I realize these are the most counterfeited of the pre-33 US gold but wow they did a good job on this counterfeit.

How does the seller know it's 90% gold, I wonder.

ya I had that one on my watch list and when I went back to it like 15 minutes later it was sold :-( It did have a few unattractive hits on the reverse so I'm not kicking myself too hard.
