Images are bad(item for sale online, I can't get any better images), but is this a gold coin?

#1 Unread post by monsterbug1 »

Found this in the corner of a bulk foreign coin lot for sale online. looks like a gold foreign coin based on what little I am seeing, but I know very little about gold foreign coins and was wondering if anyone could ID this item despite the bad images. If the image is too bad, just say so; there is nothing I can do about it

Hey M, I don't know if it is gold, but I just wonder who would throw a gold coin in with a lot of coins, in a pile on the table like that. I'm just thinking out loud, but, it seems a bit odd to me.

I once had a friend bring me a lot of foreign coins and in it was aMexican gold peso - so the scenario is not impossible. A lot of collectors are not familiar with foreign coins.

You have posted your question at the bottom of an old thread someone else started awhile ago. This is called "hijacking" on internet forums b/c it turns the focus from the original member's thread onto a subject of your own.

Besides, when you do not make your own thread, a lot fewer people will see your post and be able to help you find an answer.

So please take the following link and find out how to start your own thread to get more people involved in helping you.

Click here, READ the guidelines list and please watch the video!
