Hey everyone! I finally got the coin checked out at a local coin shop: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdNxaZCiurialXU.html

I could see it was real before I even clicked on the video. It has that good energy of accuracy and authenticity

On a new real coin, seems like when held right, you will see a circular pattern swirl. This coin looks genuine.

It’s real. I’ve had many with those spots

The rim is needed to be higher than the design elements of the coin so that the coins can be stacked without falling over.

its supposed to weigh heavier because its 22k gold, it has exactly .5toz of pure gold and added silver and copper for durability, its actually the best way to have coins that ain't so soft that the smallest bump will leave a nasty mark on it

I had a 1986 gold eagle once those Roman numbers drove me crazy tho lol 😂

Copper spots are a sign the coin is genuine…. Kinda like milk spots on silver

No doubt real, you can tell by the definition and the pin wheel reflection

Looks real. 86 has 3% silver and 5% copper. It won’t look like other gold .999 fine

Saw such on a restrike, caused by particle when striking

It's real I seen somewhere that the red spots are an imperfection that got stamped into the coin during the minting or something like that and some early American eagles have them.

real gold will ring when you tap it. that is the best test

Do the magnet test. Also, take it to your LCS amd they can test it.

Just use a pencil eraser to wipe away that red spot. I had one on my coin and it totally worked perfectly. I don't know how but, it just worked

Rim looks uneven. But id bet its real just starting video. Our mint isnt as good as we think.

Also do a ping test! That is virtually impossible to fake given the size and weight are correct.

Your scale. Get a calibration weight (probably 50 gram for your scale) and look in the manual how to calibrate it (or find a video on youtube). Even the cheaper chinese ones are actually quite good and good enough for that scale. Caliper: You might very well get a slightly thicker reading on the center of the coin. To protect the coin use tape on the jaws. Zero it after applying tape. Since you've got it for that long there's no doubt it's real. Only recently there has been tungsten filled coins. While they fit size and weight they do fail the ping test. You can even find apps that'll analyse the frequency to tell you not only does it ping but frequency also is within expected range. On top of that I do believe that tungsten is slightly magnetic (use small powerful neodymium). The spot: You can get various coins "dips" if you want to remove the spot. I believe the silver content makes it a little more prone to spot corosion than it's original big brother - the Krugerrand. Also the in the datasheet for Krugerrand sizes are given as maximum - they're typically slightly less and weight is minimum and typically some 1/100 gram heavier. In fact all bullion gold coins are a little heavier than their specified weight - 1. because even at 9999 fines there's still a teeny tiny amount of something else - mostly copper and silver - 2. because you're guaranteed to get the specified amount and since there's always manufacturing tolerances they must take that into account. Mostly you're lucky and get slightly more than you pay for - if unlucky you get exactly what you pay for.

I have one like that too. But no spots. However, I have afew 9999 gold bar with spots on them and those bars have anticounterfeit designs on them. Maybe just impurities.

31.103 gm if it was pure 24k it’s 21k 10%copper silver alloy 8?2? Because of the age, it is most likely a real fake are more of a recent problem A sigma will tell you, if not the best way is to give it Ping test

I have the same coin. However, the one I have is rated by NGC PF 69 Ultra Cameo, 1986 W EAGLE G$50. Do you know the value of this coin? Thank you

Those thickness edge tests (not diameter) on precious metal bullion coins with a micrometers is just a "guide". If you have any finning or hard or softer strikes of the planchet blank back when they struck the coin, especially on softer coins like Gold Buffalos, you can have thickness variations (along reeded edge) being off as much as 1.2 to 1.3 mm. I've seen it on authentic Buffalos several times. Just an FYI.

Since tungsten has almost the same density as gold at 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter, then the pinging sound tester can reveal if there may be a hidden tungsten core inside a gold coin @ kzfaq.info451B8uVFJ3g

It's fake I will give u 25 dollars 4. It so I can use it as a example of a fake

Have you coin shop test it if you dont know.

Just by looking at it, I would say I'm 99% certain its real, and the weight of the coin can be over the specification it typically is cause they would rather give you a bit more than short you, it just can't be under. But you can always do a specific gravity test. Its very simple, all you need is a small plastic cup filled with water and a scale, and a string to tie to your coin. You can look up the test, and it will give you a detailed explanation on how to perform the test. But in short you will weight the coin on its own, then weight the coin in the cup of water, but it has to be in the water but can't be dropped or touch the bottom, hence the string to hold the coin steady in the center off the cup. Then you will devide the weight of your coin by the weight it registered in the water. The number you get write it down, then look it up and it will tell you what material you have and the purity of your gold. I think pure 24k gold is 19.32 but the coin you have is 22k so the number should be slightly different. Hope this helps.

That is exactly why I bought me a SIGMA PRO METALLICS MACHINE FOR TESTING GOLD & SILVER; BUY 1 OZ. OF FAKE 🥸 GOLD LOOSE THAT MONEY; YOU BE GLAD YOU HAVE THAT MACHINE!!

Did this end up being real? I have the same coin and everybody says if the coin does not weigh 33.9 it is counterfeit because "the government just doesn't mess these things up" my coin also weighs 34.05 so I was wondering???

I don't like AGE'S because everything else is 9999, I'm going to get mine checked because it's an alloy and they can appear slightly different. Most I have was bought in 2003, hopefully counterfeiting wasn't as common due to the price then. The mint should make them pure or just do buffalo's.

You can tell by the face of lady liberty that it is 100% real. All the fakes have a skeleton look on LL's face.

Do a specific gravity test.

What did that spot turn out to be? Strike through error, or?

High purity gold has red spots

The red or brown spot is fine. No worries what so ever. 👍

It's fake, worthless but I'll take it off your hands for $100. 😁

So the weight it doesn't have to be exactly 33,92?... Mine is 34, 02 bought in a fiscal shop in the center of Milan.. But I was wondering about that range of mm... The other aspects are very good, too as ur coin very define lines

You can see the strike detail is excellent. It's real.

If it is real which I think it is then that year carries a hefty premium because of the year. I have many gold eagles from 2 different companies. Most came from APMEX and the weight & size does very ever so slightly on those cheap scales.

Copper spots are common

Is the coin worth more since the date is written in Roman numerals?

The star at 9 O'clock is a little out of alignment. I'd say on that alone, probably fake

They are only 91% gold think 6% copper and 2% silver something like that

What I'm always curious abt is there really 1 troy ounce of gold in there.

That's not an Eagle coin. It's a 50 Dollar coin. It says it inscribed

Take the coin to a large dealer. See if they offer you market rate. I have a coin I suspected for years. I took it to 2 dealers. They both offered me 80% of the spot price, leading me to believe its legit. Oh, and dump that scale.

try burn the copper spot using cigar lighter ... it should go away.... it will not affect "gold" coin so you get to test your gold too :)

Taht spot is normal.That spot actually proves its real gold

Hi there. Can't confirm is this a real coin or not since I am not an expert and I never had 1oz American Eagle (I have 1/10oz American Eagle only). But I can tell something about those red spots. I have Archangel Michael series gold coins (1/10oz, Ukraine) and all of them have red spots more or less. As far as I know when the stamp hits a billet during production process stamp may leave its microparts in the upper layers of the actual billet (future coin). Those microparts may start oxidize later on causing red spots which is rust basically. As long as you have real 31.1 grams of gold in that coin you should not worry about it since gold cannot oxidize itself. But if you would like to get rid of that spot you may try Leuchtturm cleaning agent for gold coins (they have same agents for silver, copper and others). I had some experience with cleaning a couple of silver coins and it worked fine, so I will try to do the same for my gold coins in future. P. S. Awesome coin though, I wish I could have one of these (1oz) in future.

The coin is a fake. It lacks detail on lady liberty, and on the eagles on the reverse.

Really and beautiful.

Yes I would of thought it was real,it's not too yellow and the detail of the woman is very good.helpful video thanks. time to cash in "its the end of the world as we know it"😷😎

It's just the copper

I had one how much if i sell it

You can tell it's fake immediately because it's so dull looking

Not fake I have the same one

I'd find a coin shop and have them sigma test it. I think its counterfeit just based on the devices visible. Edit: I've watched this again and changed my mind. I believe it's real. Also, the spotting is happening for the reason you thought. Copper alloy toning.

I think it real cas the detail is perfect

Horrible fake, no pinwheel light retracting off of it. It looks literally like a dead coin. No shimmer, flat color, weak counterfeit

So real

It’s a fake but I’ll give you 50 dollars for it

It's definitely fake I'll buy it off for you I'll give you a $100 for it Lol just kidding

It’s a bogey just wipe it off with a tissue

🤪

flick it with your finger and if it rings like a bell its real

If you want ill give you few hundred for it :)

Looks flat. I wouldn’t purchase it.

Ping test?

fake

It's too flat, fake.

Buddy! Send it to me and I will let you know! In oh! Maybe 20 years!

There's an easiest way to do the ping test OK22 care gold if it's real I'll ring your clock for a minute and a 1/2 straight you'll be hearing pink forever if it's fake it's dull the sound dies out within a couple seconds do the ping test!!
