numisport Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 While not up to speed too much on counterfeit type such as yours I would say is not real. Looks mushy and missing detail as well as brass color likely fake. Turko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RWB Posted March 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2021 Three dollar gold coins were widely counterfeited in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This had little to do with numismatic value. The imitations were made for the jewelry trade where $3 coins were very popular. (Gold dollars were also extensively used in jewelry.) These brass fakes were substitutes for authentic coins in cheap jewelry, and not for passing them as real coins in commerce. Overall, deceptive counterfeits for numismatic sale did not appear until the 1950s in Syria, Lebanon and Israel.

Henri Charriere Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Would it be asking too much to ask the OP, Turko, to post a photo of the reverse side of this coin if it's not too much trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
