Check out the prongs.
Besides the steps being broken, there is something wrong with the holder...
I see it! But I'll let others have a chance to spot it.
Unfortunately 19 times out of 20, if someone has a rare token for sale that I want, it's on eBay. Especially because most of the tokens I look for...

I wasn't sure if the lines on the obverse were scratches or reflections. Since they are, It's probably lower than PR-65 and thus, the value is...
@ldhair, could you help?
Most of the time I prefer a bezel. I've seen some very well done repairs. I doubt I could detect some of them!...
Ping testing in my opinion isn't the best way of detecting counterfeits. You should post some pictures of it. If it isn't real, you can be 99%...
