<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 3469985, member: 21782&quot;]Thanks for all the input. I did a little more research and I&#039;m leaning toward it&#039;s a fake. One issue that only shows a little in my pics, but is far more prevalent in hand are very small round pits (hundreds to thousands of them) all over the coin and an orange peel affect, most noticeable in the fields. Here&#039;s what I found that describes this coin to a tee:</p><p><br /></p><p>if you got a coin that is poorly cast to hide it the counterfeiters will give it a high polish and if you look closely at this polished coin under a strong glass you will see hundreds of small tiny pits kind of like an orange peel affect this is done after the coin is cast and then highly polished giving the coin again an orange peel affect</p><p>Usually this is done on fake gold coins to much success.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just contacted the seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
