   If you have a scale, Numista says it should weigh 4.18 grams. And with a caliper, a diameter of 18mm. Not foolproof, but it helps. Are you near a local coin shop that has a Sigma device?

   Considering it’s raw - You don’t. Are u risk averse? Suggest you pass - get a graded piece. Many been ripped on raw gold.

   Can you get a weight to 0.01 grams?

   Asking if a coin is real and selling it simultaneously on the BST seems a bit odd.

   Your initial post says it’s being offered to you. That and the fact that you’re not sure it’s authentic are two very good reasons not to offer it for sale at this time.

    Looks like an authentic circulated Indian quarter eagle but it looks like it has been cleaned.
