Whenever I see a high dollar coin (this really isnt high dollar, so let's say anything worth more than $2500) and it isn't certified by one of the big three, i always ask myself, why doesn't the person spend $30 stinkin dollars to take away all the doubt and subjectivity? NEVER buy any coin of value uncertified, even if you think you're getting a deal. There's a reason you're getting a deal.
To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.
Pictures aren't great but my gut instinct cries out fake.
The details on the date and "Liberty" look too sharp compared with the "wear" on the rest of the coin. If proven it is genuine at the very least I would say it has been cleaned/ polished.
Pcgs price guide shows a value of $25,000 in VF-30 for 1870-CC 10 dollar Liberty Proving my point even more. I dont know Gold, sorry.
There are true bargains out there to be had with raw coins. You just need to know what your doing. I agree and just another reason why I wouldn't buy anything like this...I dont know Gold to well.
The question remains...why not spend a few bucks getting it certified and why not take better pics rather than with a freakin camera phone, to sell a $25k coin?

Not always. There are true bargains out there to be had with raw coins. You just need to know what your doing.
