This looks fake to me, not sure why these get bid up with all the better real comparable coins.
What looks fake about it? The obverse photo lighting is poor and it's not in the greatest shape but I think it looks OK.
Collector, occasional seller
Very common double eagle. (Hmmmm....did someone remove the "D" mintmark?)
The rim looks kinda weird to me....Other than that I'll be honest and say I don't really know what to look for.

OK, maybe it was just my suspicion like why is a marked up Saint bidding so strong? Surface looked off to me but I'll leave it to the experts.
Horrible photo. Don't make it your problem.
Beat-up EF with two extra belly buttons. Worth melt - maybe less.

LOL..........maybe they did!
This thread Just goes to show folks that they should be skeptical of what they read on the internet by Tom, Dick, Harry, or me who comment on images of coins.

Looks authentic, however, not one I would be bidding on at that price.... Cheers, RickO
