Unfortunately, yes. At least it's based on a real design. Compare to this genuine one.

Agree, it's definitely a repro...

 

Thank you. I was hoping it'd be an over cleaned coin. At least I didn't pay much for it

 

Please send me a link if it's on the web. Thank you.

 

This was NAC sale 29. Here's a link to the catalog archived on Issuu. The coin is on page 130.

It looks like it is a case of a modern fake.

This was sold as a replica in 2011:-



This one (same dies) was sold as genuine by a fake seller in 2016.

 

Thank you!
