Could even be bad Americans having them MADE there and importing them for resale.
Not all gold coins weigh the same, even if they contain the same gold content, so it’s important to know in advance how much an authentic gold coin should weigh. One ounce 24k gold coins, such as Canadian gold maple leaf coins, should weigh 31.1 grams. 22k gold coins, such as American gold eagles and South African gold krugerrands, weigh 33.93 grams. $20 Liberty Head and St. Gaudens gold coins weigh 33.43 grams.
However, if the same metal used to produce the authentic gold coin isn’t used in the production of the counterfeit coin, then the diameter and/or thickness of the coin is unlikely to match the specifications of the authentic coin.
