<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 1327767, member: 8959&quot;]Judging from the pictures, and your statement that weight, size and silver content test are OK, I also concur that this coin appears to be genuine.&nbsp; The edge device is, as you say, most difficult to reproduce on casts. On you coin the edge design appears well detailed and not mushy as a cast would be. I seems also that no seam is present around the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remains only the issue of the pimples of the surface. It is well possible that this is due to rusty dies - not inconceivable as this coin was minted in Potosi, where probably ideal condition for die storage did not always exist. The horrible, pebbly texture typical of casts coins is usually distributed throughout the coin and the edge. On your coin the pimples are isolated, and this would speak against a cast.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>Besides all of the above, your coin has a good appearance and matches well a few i saw on mcsearch.&nbsp; My opinion is that it is genuine and a desirable example of this interesting issue of the early years of the Argentine republic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
