About Dan Moore Expertise My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library,
and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just
about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current
price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So,
with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value
any U.S. coin you have.

Question My friend foolishly purchased a coin for $300 from her brother's friend both have a criminal past. He told her it was worth twice as much but needed rent money.
I only briefly looked at the coin.
It is a U.S. Gold dollar, about 2 inches in diameter, indian head on one side, eagle on flip side and minted in 2007.
I have been unable to find it on the internet. I believe this coin is either stolen or fake. Any information if any would be great thank you.
Answer Anjee,
I would say your feelings are correct.
There are no U.S. coins that big or with the design you describe.
You can see pictures and specs of all the real U.S. coins here :
I seriously doubt your coin contains any more gold than a thin plating, and very likely could just be brass. You may be able to take it to a local jeweler to have it analyzed.
