<p>[QUOTE="Aidan Work, post: 179410, member: 1824"]Doug,the edge itself just looks too rounded on one side & bevels to a point,which is a sign that it could be a dud.A genuine hammered coin doesn't bevel to a point.It is also best to weigh it with a pair of scales.The soapy appearance is also a typical sign of a dud that should raise a big red flag.It certainly raises a red flag with me,I'm afraid,but that is only my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
