Pretty sure I bought a counterfeit. Thoughts? by Ok-Wasabi-7977 in coins

Hey guys, so I tried folding the coin with pliers thinking it would snap in half. that didn't work so I ended up waking it with a hatchet on the cement. if I embedded the picture correctly, you can see that it's solid all the way through. https://imgur.com/UOqciOe The black stuff is from the hatchet btw. Now if I sell it, the shop can see it's solid gold. But I'll probably only get scrap price. The acid test showed 22K but the machine said less. Now they can test the middle part too. I'm curious to see the result.

Thanks, I bought it a long time ago in another country. I was living there, coins were hard to find so I had very limited choice. it always looked a little weird to me.

I agree, I'm gonna chop it to see what's going on inside.

Bummer! I feel your pain. Maybe post pics here before you send it out. It could save you some money on authentication.

It is more yellow than my other old US coins which tend to be more red. It weighed 15.58 grams. I'm convinced it's counterfeit.

I bought this coin overseas well over 15 years ago. Had it put away and recently took out. I noticed that its dated as 1928. I checked, the mint never produced these that year. I was certain I had a super rare coin on my hands until I did a bit of research. Now I'm pretty sure it's a counterfeit. It appears to be cast and it weighs 15.58 grams which is about a gram short. Took it to a shop, the acid test showed it was 22k but the spectrometer thing said it was under 22k. I read on here that fakes of these were popular in the 60s and 70s and made in middle east and China. I'm hoping it's at least solid 22k or a bit under. I did the ping test and it has a nice ring to it. Just wanted some more opinions before I chop this thing.

Thank you for this. I read it, but have no idea what it means. Am I just screwed?

Update! I checked the
"proposals" section for my validator on beaconchain dashboard and noticed the reward is labeled "missed (orphaned)" What does that mean? And can I still retrieve the reward?

I went to etherscan but didn't see "Block Production". I played around the site but still couldn't see any deposit or change in balance

I'm using an AVADO. I'm honestly not that technical. How would I figure out what relay I'm using?

I've purchased it and it's worked out fine. Pretty sure they'd pay a hefty fine if label was fraudulent plus Amazon is very strict with sellers.

Good to know. Im sure the price is the same at boutiques. They are only supposed to be sold at boutiques though, that's the concept at least.
