<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 651392, member: 7638"]I share the same concerns as Rusty. The rims look too wide to me in areas.The morphology of the stars is very uneven, some look distorted. While some of the chops appear quite heavy, they don't seem to "telegraph" through to the opposite side, either as flattening of the design (if punched while on a stone) or as a bulge (if punched on wood). The surfaces look too mark-free for a coin that travelled around that much. I can't tell if it's authentic with any certainty from the photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
