The coin is quite smooth and I wonder if it’s been ground down to&nbsp; disguise poor casting or defects. Then a darkening effect was added to the field to accentuate the softened details. You are correct that there does appear to be a rim outside the dotted border that does not appear in the example posted by Bing. This border is difficult to feel due to the smoothness of the coin but easily seen in the picture. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do genuine coins only have the beaded rim? Are there other places I can learn more about the ways to spot real vs fakes?</p><p><br /></p><p>thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
