To find if a peso gold coin actually has gold in it, your best bet is to go to a jewelry shop and have it examined by a person that makes his or her living doing that type of stuff. Hope this helped.

Fake gold, or "fools gold" has a foul sulfur odor while real gold does not. Usually, you can rub the gold and sniff it to determine if it is real or fake.
The easiest way is to measure its dimensions against what the coin should be. Gold is a hard metal to reproduce and as such fakes will either weigh differently or have a different diameter or thickness. An experienced coin dealer should also be able to tell you if your coin is genuine or not.
If you doubt the authenticity of any coin, take it to a coin dealer.
A magnet will tell you if a metal is magnetic - Gold is NOT magnetic, so if a ring 'sticks' to a magnet it is NOT gold.

To determine if a 1928 Saint Gaudens $20 gold coin is fake, you can have it evaluated by a reputable coin dealer or grading service. Look for signs of wear, such as discoloration or unusual texture, as well as any inconsistencies in the design or weight. Additionally, using a magnet to test if the coin is attracted to it can help identify counterfeit coins, as gold is not magnetic.
The best way to tell is to take it to a coin collector and see what he/she thinks.
If the coin is made from gold, it will say so on the packaging it was sold in.
we need to know what the coin is. Repost with a description of the legends on the coin along with diameter and weight.
The best thing to do is take it to a coin dealer for a accurate assessment.
I was wondering the same thing. I can tell real gold from fake just by looking and the 'gold' that i saw that had FAS on it was surely not real gold.
