<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2065795, member: 15019"]The one I posted, look at the peripheral lettering, especially around the top of both sides. It's very soft looking and low in profile, almost looking like it blends into the fields. The edge reeding looks weak and oddly beveled near where they "turn the corner" to the flat sides. Also, what looks like a crack running through the tree is a die scratch. All of these point to sloppy manufacture. Not something seen on genuine coins but a common feature on Chinese copies.</p><p>Eastern European copies tend to be sharper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
