[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4305021, member: 110226"]The raised spots could be die rust. The flat areas of the coin are somewhat rough, but was probably the original surface of the flan before striking, as these flans were cast. The weight is good, so if it is a fake, it is a good one. I am not familiar with the design elements of the solidus series to comment about that, but overall the coin looks okay to me.[/QUOTE]
