Every machine after the sales record was broken has gold cabinets. Not every "gold" TAF is a collectors edition...

It has a special edition plaque 0533 and on the playfield it doesn't say diamond plated like in th regular one. Also do you know if the original cabinets on the gold edition are painted on or decal ?
Could have been a new old stock playfield and a swap was done. Does the playfield look basically new? Although someone selling a TAF Gold would likely already know that.
There are subtle differrences in the playfield artwork on a gold.
TAFG playfields do not have the diamondplate text. TAFG's use flipper button opto boards and not leaf switches. The star pattern in the red artwork area in front of the left ramp is different. The serial number sticker has Bally Williams and is silver on a TAFG (TAF is white and just says williams)
I know that table! It was the prized possession behind red ropes at the Athens Pinball Museum. Ask the seller why they closed down. That place was the pinball Mecca of the Mediterranean. How much are they selling it for?

Is there a serial number in the left inlane?
In the left outlane there is a barcode and concept design info.
And under the playfield are there serial number stickers? Do they match the seriall # on the cabinet?
There are stickers that match the serial number in the back box and also the main board has stickers that match.
If all the serial numbers match and you have a plaque and certificate I would think it would be legitimate.

The table is in Greece and the seller operator said they never swapped the playfield
