    Wonder what was on the rest of the bracelet. Is that a Lebanon piece?

    Date looks wrong. I think the 1 was altered.

    I've actually got no idea. A quick glance didn't have me suspicious at first, until I turned it over and did a double-take on the date. The other oddity is the reeding on the edge, which is very precise and squared, but not constantly spaced (every few reeds make up a cycle of the pattern, it seems).

    Man I've been looking for a 1951 gold dollar. Lucky you! Hehe.

    Is it actually made of gold? Is the weight right? If it is, at least it's worth something......

    Those little raised pointed marks inside the rims are tool marks. The reeding was probably done with a knurling device, which uses a rotating wheel, thus the repeating pattern.

    Even before I saw the reverse I could tell it was a fake. The spikes coming out of the rim is a dead giveaway for a counterfeit coin. There's a big spike at 6:00 that really stands out.
