I was in the woods a few years ago and found a old rusty car. Inside the car was a cache of gold coins. I sadly I dropped a octagonal coin I could not find it. When I got home I did research and found out that most of them were tokens, but one was a authentic California fractional gold coin. Also, Now that my grandma sold that property I can not go back. Anyway are some pictures.

P.S. someone one anther thread said it was fake but I have found the same one slabbed on ebay plus many other "un"slabbed ones. and I'm sorry that my picture is blurry these coins are extremely tiny.

P.P.S. The other post I posted was before I found out they were authentic and I also posted it in the wrong section.

If that bottom image is suppose to be an 1870 Indian Head $1 Gold coin, it isn't even close. The obverse legend should read: United States of America-- not several stars in lieu. And to place a real gold coin on a trinket loop raises yet another red flag with me.

Says in the first post his grandma sold the property so he can't go back :icon_scratch: So she gave him permission to hunt on property she sold? How does that work? And I would not have left a gold coin I dropped unless I dropped it down a well or something.

I found these a WHILE back but decided to do research today and discovered they are authentic so I posted it today, and the other post I posted was before I found out they were authentic and I also posted it in the wrong section.

You say you found a cache of gold coins and then we just see a picture of one coin on a trinket loop? ???:dontknow::icon_scratch: If I found a cache of gold coins I'd lay them all out and put flowers around them before I took a picture..:occasion18:.. then I would post about 100 other pictures of them.... front and back.:laughing7: I'd love to see pictures of all of them. :thumbsup:

I had thought that but there are some other inconsistencies in your story that have been pointed out by others. Namely, who waits a "WHILE" to research dug gold coins?
