    It does appear to be "melting" right into someone's hands later today...

    Looks like ex-jewelry coin. Well worn and highly polished with many heavy marks.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Looks kind of abused. Probably harshly cleaned. The photo is blurry and not flattering, with light reflecting many flaws.

    In another thread Ambro51 felt Charlotte gold wasn't used much for jewelry. And I don't think counterfeits have been a problem. It's probably genuine and would be slabbed as such.

    If the price were right I might take a chance.
