  Any thoughts or comments about the coin? Anything jump out to say its fake.....I wasn't able to see any problems with the coin, but then again, I'm not 100% educated in this series..thanks again

  It can't be authenticated from those pics but considering that it's heavily worn and has numerous marks it's probably real. I'd pass on this one.

  Thanks Perry- I actually purchased the coin just to have an example of the $10 Indian Head for my "circulated" gold collection....not to resale or have graded, but just for a decent "old" gold example. I researched and looked at real vs fake examples and thought I would take a shot on it. Everyother $10 Indian Head around here is $675-750 for run of the mill coins, so i thought what the heck!
  Any other thoughts?
  Thanks!

  It looks as if it's genuine. But I think that with some patience, you could have obtained a (guaranteed genuine) certified one that was as nice or nicer for a similar amount.

  At $625, I think he got a good deal. Naturally, a higher grade in a PCGS slab is a worthy goal.

  thanks for the input! I figured if I were to just purchase a plain jane 1/2oz gold bullion coin, i would spend $600-$625 with no "historical" value. So, I was fine paying what I did for it, but I just was looking for some input as to real vs fake...thanks again guys!
