Fake U.S. 1899 5 dollar gold coin?

#1 Unread post by Bruce »

Hello,could anyone please tell me if this 5 dollar 1899 is a good coin or am I just being paranoid?Dont laugh but I got this from craigs list and am still staring at it.I did not acid test but it does not stick to a magnet and the weight is dead on using my new coin scale I got from ebay.My main concern are the little bars on the inside of the outer ridge,on both the left and right hand sides,should they be straight out and not at an angle? Thankyou so much for any info.The same lady wants to meet me today and sell me a 1891 5 dollar......P.S. I have had some really bad luck with getting some bad Trade dollars lately.I don't know how to upload images on this site yet but if you could my coin is listed on ebay under rarepots and I have only one gold coin listed,thankyou,Bruce,rarepots.
