    I recently spotted the following coins for sale. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something bothers me about them. Something just feels “off.” Maybe it’s just my paranoia and these are fine, but I figured I’d post them here for your thoughts. Does anything strike you as peculiar with these? Perhaps they’ve been tooled?

    I think this one's genuine, though.
