Hello! I found this site while trying to surf the web looking for information on this coin and a couple of others, from what I can find I have a pretty rare coin here (well not I but a friend that is less capable at computer research) Can anyone help me out? Thank you! To make things easier I have a couple of halfway decent pics of the coin

pardon my ignorance, but what exactly makes it a fake? unfortunately the links posted lead to a dead link or to a live link that leads to a dead link lol
Well for that coin the assayer's mark should be just F - not MF. And where it reads XM, it should read read MX. It's a fake, there is no doubt.
