Interesting answers, everyone. I thought the pictures were clear, but I guess not. PCGS called this coin AU-58. I think it is actually 55.
Yes. It is a cast fake. The entire coin is wrong. Not even close.
These are tricky coins, and I know there are a lot of counterfeits. For the purposes of educating the members (to avoid these sorts of problems),...

These are just like the Krugerrand, libertad, maple leaf, panda, or silver eagle - strictly bullion, and worth no more than the metal content....
Where is the fingerprint? I don't see it in any of your pics (and usually, I am highly sensitive to fingerprints). In my opinion, any...
