A detailed assessment is given of conflicting high-energy X measurements of the Coma cluster region. Various considerations lead to the conclusion that the recent detection of intense emission in the band 18-130 keV is very unlikely to be diffuse intracluster emission from the Coma cluster. Therefore, the detection of diffuse intracluster emission would require detector sensitivity better than a few 10 exp -6/sq cm/s/keV in the few tens of keV range. If the observed emission originates in the Seyfert galaxy X Comae, its implied X luminosity would make it one of the strongest currently known high-energy X sources.
