    my guess would be fake. Lettering on reverse looks off to me.

    It is real but not genuine & not a product of the Gallery Mint.

    scottishmoney Buh bye

    GMM pieces had "COPY" counterstamped either on the obverse or reverse, it was a choice of the buyer. When I bought mine I had them all stamped on the reverse.

    As others have noted above the lettering is off vs. the authentic coin, and even vs. the GMM pieces that were created ca. 1996-97 or so.
