[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2625837, member: 56859"]I've got a fast Google finger but I'm definitely not an expert! :) I was going to say the same thing. It's from CNG and they make fewer such mistakes than most companies. This coin has passed through their hands twice: 2011 in a print sale, where it sold for more than the seemingly high estimate, and September 2016, where it sold for around opening bid on an estimate that was less than half of the print sale. Interesting! It's a beautiful coin and looks like it was a bargain the second time around. Then again, it is also possible that no one noticed the edge. I'd call or write CNG and ask them for guidance. As others have said, it looks fine to me but the seam-y thing is puzzling. My bet is that it is authentic and there is some other explanation. Maybe [USER=9204]@Ardatirion[/USER] will weigh in.[/QUOTE]
