[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2457147, member: 24314"]When I looked at the OP's first and second photo, I believed the coin was a genuine ex-jewelry piece ALSO. Once I saw the edge, 100% C/F. Not ANY CHANCE of being genuine. The OP is not well acquainted with the series so he thought the top of the bow (already corrected in his mind before your post) was a raised line. I have posted several times that w/o extremely sharp photos of parts of a coin's surface rather than the entire coin - this type of post is a crap-shoot. So w/o the edge photo, and with my close to average (?) authentication skills, I would have guessed an abused genuine coin. :facepalm::bucktooth::blackeye:[/QUOTE]
