<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 165190, member: 112&quot;]From what I can see of it, the edge design on your coin is correct. But as I stated in one of my first posts on this coin - &quot; But at the Lima mint, from 1752 onwards, all of the leaves pointed in one direction. But there are two clear joints visible.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Even so, that has little to do with whether the coin is genuine or not for you would expect a counterfeit to &quot;look&quot; genuine, especially if it is a cast counterfeit. For they are usually made by using a genuine coin as a pattern to produce the casting.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are however two things that point to the coin being counterfeit - the raised marks on the surface &amp; the coin is underweight. Therefore I believe it is counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your question about the raised marks on the 1805 coin, my previous answer also applies to it. However, if you would like to present pics of the coin and report its weight I would be happy to look it over and provide my opinion. Of course my opinion is only based on pictures and information you provide. Other than that, you must have the coin examined by an expert in hand to get a definitive answer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
