CONTEMPORARY COUNTERFEITS: UNITED STATES:, AV 1907 20 dollars, as KM-126, St. Gaudens type, famous "Omega" counterfeit of the high relief / Roman numerals type, highly lustrous, in ICG Not Genuine holder, Choice Unc. The counterfeiter of these high relief double eagles is known as The Omega Man for the distinctive omega symbol found within the eagle's claws. An estimated 20,000 pieces (including other U.S. gold coins) were made from .900 fine gold. These fakes are known for their extremely high quality, so much so that they are virtually undetectable without the characteristic omega mark. These were made in the 1970's and the identity of the counterfeiter remains unknown to this day.
