[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3574428, member: 8959"]Thanks, guys for the comments. The finned rims are interesting. They are still really well defined on this coin - maybe this accounts for the weak strike in the lower reverse?? who knows. In-hand the coin looks better, with really nice detail - I have never had any doubts about its authenticity, however I do have an open mind if it turned out to be otherwise. The toning, though, specially on the reverse is just 'too original' (not nice). I picked this one up at a flea market in Belgium back in 1985....I'd be surprised if I paid more than 3-5 bucks back then. Those were the days...[/QUOTE]
