New $3 Gold Coin need help grading.

[Proudtoown]

Heres a $3 gold piece I recently picked up. Any ideas as to it being counterfeit?? Looks ok to me. I'm thinking VF with scratch on obverse and a nick in the reverse. What do you think it grades and the value?

Maybe it's just a misleading image, but he coin looks bad to me. And that's primarily because the details look to weak for a coin with little or no apparent wear.

Looks like it might be an ex-jewelry coin with all those little tic marks. Can we get better pics? Any evidence of a mount being removed from the edge?

Assuming its genuine (I'll leave that to the experts) - it looks to be VF details, scratched, cleaned, holed, possibly ex jewelry. Unless you got this for a steal, I'd return it.

For me, it has the "gut feel" of a genuine coin, BUT the image is blurry. On the other hand, it sure is beat up. I would think XF+ details, but a net grade of maybe VF or even Fine.

I'm not seeing anywhere near that amount of wear.

take a look at the 6 in the date and with photos maybe it is the photo but it looks not genuine

 

unless the date numerial 6 was reingraved

 

but the coin itself genuine or not is ex jewelry damaged and xf details

 

without seeing the coin in hand sight seen to verify for sure i think from the photos it is not genuine

 

the denticals on the left side reverse are "off" too

 

among a few other things

I'm in agreement here.

Heres some closer pictures with a 10x loupe.

My gut feeling is genuine, ex-jewelry with AU Details.

Based on the photos, genuine VF damaged.

is that a hit about 9 oclock on the reverse?

Seriously, what difference would that make, considering the extremely poor overall condition of the coin?

[CyberspaceVoid]

I'll do you a favor and buy it for $3 ... with no hit for the commission or damage!
