mint crease or cast seam

Does anyone know if this is a casting seam or a minting crease

can try taking a better picture if this one is not clear enough

when you look at the coin it looks like there are two coins with a silver colord coin in the middle

thank you:hail:

You do not need to create two threads to ask the same question.

sorry i didnt think the first one went through

 

would it help if I sent you some mre photos as this one is not so good

 

Also do you know why all the N's on the coin look different than each other

The T's are different and the E 's are different

thanks

 

I agree. It's not a very good fake either.

That should end any lingering doubts the OP may have had about the coin's authenticity. I'm glad we got that cleared up quickly.

 

Btw other coins in the first photo appear to be cast fakes as well.

 

This is definitely a casting seam.

 

cast fake

continental fakes outnumber the real ones 10 to 1, if I had to guess.

 

I'd say 1000 to 1 is more like it...

 

does anyone know the difference

Does anyone know the difference .... ........ is this a casting seam or is it a minted coin crease ??

 

That looks awful wide.
Can we get some more pictures?

 

well I dont understand ...because i read hoe the coins were made and it said they took two sides and put a planchard ( or something like that ) between the the two outter and put it on a machine and pressed and that makes a coin ....notice how I used my own words this time ...i didnt know that was not allow

eed ...but I do now

I feel like you are making fun of me ...all i am doing is asking because I dont know
and I am only going on the things i read online ....I think my cin looks like two coins with a third one in the middle and the middle one is not a seam becasue it isnt flush it sticks way out from the outter two

I just dont understand .....

 

sure ..just let me know if you need more thank you

 

the last two arent very good they look more like a casting seam ...its hard to get the right angle .....but the 1st one is ok

ill try again

 

just so you know the piece in the middle isnt flush with the outter parts it stick out from the edge but not the whole way around only there ther rest doesnt have a seam
