So this coin (and some silver) I am going to be trading a gold bracelet for. I just want to get some other people's thoughts on how it looks. It is a solid coin but I'm just wondering if it is too nice. The dude has a nice high end collection full of a lot of high grade coins and paper money. I'm just always worried about 1909-s and stuff like this. I have seen scary good fakes.
So yeah just leave your thoughts on the coin in the comments please :)

Honestly, that coin just doesn't look right to me. There's no way José I would buy or trade for that coin without it being authenticated first. Too much of a risk.

If I do end up trading I'll do all my checks first and get a a picture of his drivers license (same thing they do in coin shops when you sell now a days). My checks include weight, size, look, and pretty much if it just seems to be right or wrong(my father who will be with me is a bit of an Indian expert). If I do trade I'll just drop it off at ANACS that day (I live close by) and get it graded. If it comes back fake someone will have to pay up.

I say have the guy go with you to ANACS and present it together. If its legit you pay the fee, if it's a fake then he pays. Good luck, it is a very nice coin though.
