That's the kind of mistake I would expect to not see on a counterfeit that comes from a color printer. There's no reason for one color to be...
Hmm. I don't see any evidence whatsoever of green on the coin.
And since you put it that way, I'd take this coin over either piece of a top-pop example that's been cut in half!

Your knees must be in better shape than mine. ;)
I'm totally stealing this. :)
