Bought this at a Dallas Estate sell 3 yrs ago. After paying for it I had a feeling it really wasn’t a Gold Coin. After some research I believe it really is a genuine Gold Coin. Any information world be greatly appreciated.
The wonky stars are always a give away. Every fake I have seen has really bad stars. These were produced in the 1960s as souvenir tokens. Some have liw karat and some were hold plGold.
Quick method,try a magnet. Gold will not stick. You can also measure size and determine what weight should be if real gold. You can also bring it to a pawn shop, coin shop, jewelry shop and they can test for Gold. In my opinion its fake, but have it checked out.
Here's what the real coins looked like..
