<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 6653906, member: 105571"]I don't see anything about this coin that screams "fake". It has the correct obverse and reverse for the BB-193 die marriage and has the correct reverse die cracks for Die State II. I don't see any evidence of a cast coin and the strike looks to be correct for this era and die marriage. Beyond that, I would need to rely on an expert in the series to make a more definitive determination.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to grade, it is nowhere close to mint state. I grade it as XF-45 by the standards of PCGS Photograde. It shows the remnants of an old dipping but so do many if not most old coins and this one looks market-acceptable to me. A few small rim issues do not detract much nor merit a details grade. Fields are generally good.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall it seems a nice coin to me but I hope you did not pay AU much less MS money for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
