What's wrong with the illustration?

I'm helping a client liquidate part of their precious metals portfolio. In their portfolio are the usual suspects (AGE, KRands, Gold Pandas) and a few gold coins like an 1861 $2.50, a 1910 $10 Indian, and a 1922 Saint. Nothing special but as part of my due diligence, I thought I check just in case there are any better dates and if there is still a market for better date gold.
Here's a result from a Duck-Duck-Go search using the key words "$10 gold Indian"

This is AI's version of the $10 gold Indian.
Let's hear it for lazy authors and crappy AI!

Check the price guide in PCGS Coin Facts here. It's a great resource and it's free. Also, Numismedia Online FMV price guide is a good source for retail coin values. Of course, the coin's value will depend on the coin's grade and the coins will need to be authenticated especially the gold coins which have been heavily counterfeited. Quality high-resolution pics of the better coins will help us give you better advice.

I think you missed the point. He wasn't asking for help with pricing. He was pointing out the silly drawing of the $10 gold.

Hence the title of the thread.
AI sure doesn't like liberty. It spelled the word wrong twice.
Maybe that's a warning about what AI is planning for us. 😬
Likely done with an old version. ChatGPT 5.2 does not have the same spelling issues that 3.2 had.

@jmlanzz @CaptHenway ---This is what I was responding to. A cursory glance at a price guide will tell one which dates are the better dates. I didn't address the AI pics since I thought it was obvious to everyone here including the OP that it was a fantasy rendition dreamed up by the AI rather than a real coin. It's interesting that AI seems to have a problem with spelling simple words.

As I mentioned earlier, AI does NOT have a problem spelling simple words any longer. The early versions did, the new versions are superb. I created book illustrations with them for my new book:
By the way, I always found it odd that the early versions had trouble with words. They are LLMs and they should have been perfect with words, but somehow words in images used to cause trouble.
