    Hi Stacker,

    sorry for posting a non trading thread here. but has anyone seen this coin? I could not find any information from internet.

    is it a genuine gold coin or just gold plated?

    Thanks all!

    These were released by Niue with 150 minted.
    I could be wrong but the mint number of the coin should be on the side.
    Would be good idea to ask for a photo of this and better quality photos

    Correct should have the face value on the obverse not ''limited edition'

    that’s what i thought. but could not find anyrhing online to confirm this is a gold plated coin. normally, there should be a copy sign on the coin.

    Yeah that's clearly fake

    "Limited Edition" LOL that's just horrible, and a clear indicator

    The colour/shade of the coin too - it just looks fake, doesn't have that real pure gold colour to it
