    Looks OK but if you want opinions we really need a close up photo taken raw out of the cellophane.

    Hard to tell from your pics but it looks like it may have been cleaned.

    Ok , my pictures actually came out better in the flip for some reason . This is probably the best I can do with my high tech equipment (Iphone). Now photobucket wont edit and these may come out sideways image

    Are you sure it isn't a fake? I would be really uncomfortable buying a raw tough date and pricey coin. I would send this in to NGC or PCGS so that in the future there will be no doubts about the coin when it is time to sell.

    Looks real but cleaned. Usually fake gold coins are common dates because the rare dates get too much scrutiny from buyers.

    Check the pop reports. Not a rare date even though it's the key to the series. When counterfeiters make their dies they use a high grade coin as a model to cast their dies or use one of several transfer processes to create their dies. High grade gold coins for this purpose are far more available among the common dates. As far as the 1911-D $2 1/2 gold coin, the counterfeiter can use an 1911 to make the obverse die and any common D mintmark coin (e.g. 1925-D) to create the reverse die.
