[QUOTE="Smojo, post: 2636839, member: 78058"]Well, since nobody except Mikey replied I might as well throw my two cents at it. But I've got to add again I'm far from an expert. I'm on the fence with it but because we're looking at a picture and not in hand. First, I don't find the edge color cause for a red flag. It seems I've seen some authentic coin's similar. But looking at your photo I see 3 dots then it looks like at about 2 o'clock there could be more. I don't know from pics. Second the obverse pic is fuzzy, out of focus. It's off center but not terribly so. The strike is almost to perfect. The reverse winged thunderbolt for some reason hits my eyes funny. The club and bow show wear but the rest looks really good. Even with all of this I can not say it's either authentic or fake. Invest in a decent digital scale. You can find them cheap enough under $20 at Harbor Freight. I use a jewelers scale but years ago I was fortunate enough to have an acquaintance give it to me & was also able to upgrade it. Sorry to leave you with remaining doubt on your A III.[/QUOTE]
