Could be legit. If it were machined, you'd think the zinc core would show. I doubt I'll bid on it however.

HAHA Frank, I figured this one would show up, haha. Frank and I shared a laugh about this one over PM.
If only I knew all coins resulted from grease filled Dies brought a premium like this....

When I posted this I hadn't gone any further that the top of the listing page where the price is. I have just taken a better look at the pictures and see some very strange stuff on the coin's reverse. What's up with all the bumps on the Memorial and in the field below? Those are usually markers for cast counterfeits; at least there's no other explanation I can think of for them being there.

I was all set to purchase that coin for the asking price of $999,999.00 but then I saw that outrageous postage of $10 and I just couldn't afford that.
Maybe next time.  |

Quite common.

Did you notice that he as over $40 million of "buy it now"s listed on one page.
Sooooo, does that make the cointalk domain name worth $8,000,000 also?
