[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 410303, member: 11521"]It looks struck to me. Struck coins have luster; cast coins do not. Also, the tool marks that appear as raised marks on the coin are scratched into the surface of the die by the counterfeiter as he is trying to clean up the surface of his die. I don't think kind of attention to detail is given to cast coin dies (but I could be wrong).[/QUOTE]
