WP0323 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I was wondering if it’s a replica or it’s real I think it’s a replica because it is missing that back but if anyone knows let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Welcome to the NGC chat board. This is a uniface (one-sided) replica (fake), but not of a U.S. mint issued double eagle. It is modeled after the obverse of an 1854 Kellogg & Co. $20 gold piece, one of a number of issues by private assayers that operated in California during the Gold Rush era before the San Francisco mint was able to supply the demand for coinage. See 1854 KELLOGG & CO. $20 MS | Coin Explorer | NGC (ngccoin.com) for images of genuine pieces. Mike Meenderink and GoldFinger1969 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 It's a very poor counterfeit. Belongs in the garbage. GoldFinger1969 and Mike Meenderink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
