[QUOTE="Jasanche, post: 4986928, member: 88790"]I am far from an expert on these, and there are die varieties galore... but the lettering and some of the detail make me a little sceptical. If you have a good scale, why don't you check the specific density of it? It is not that hard once you get the hang of it and, aside from the scale, you don't really need any specialty equipment, nor does it damage the coin. EDIT: the density should be around 10.35 for this coin, I think... John[/QUOTE]
