    Am reasonably certain it's a cast fake.

    I need a better picture of your coin, not too sure what I'm looking at on the reverse. GDJMSP , what do you think this is a cast jewlery piece ? The dimples look to be well achieved on a rather small coin if this is a cast fake IMO.

    I think it's a cast fake because it looks to have casting bubble pits all over it.

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say they are well achieved.

    On a lot of my cast fakes the dimples are varying in depth and form , I was just pointing out that these look sharp except the ones crushed and damaged by what looks like scraping from someone kicking at it on the asphalt . To me this looks good , I don't see the casting pits you're talking about. It just looks like a coin that was kicked around in my opinion.
