Re: Cud on this 1874 $1 gold?
It appears the OP has taken this coin ATS and garnered a few opinions there regarding authenticity. Again....some like it, some do not.

Meanwhile...ATS....this coin has stirred a hornets nest and it seems some members over there are beginning to get the dueling pistols out of the box and ready to shoot at each other. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4225458&fpart=3 One very valid point a forum member over there made…
