[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2835556, member: 24314"]Occasionally, this is seen on a genuine coin. However, as I understand it, many of the contemporary counterfeits were given a silver coating "Sheffield Plate Process" similar to the way silverware was made back then. These coins often have a seam at the edge similar to what you see. The edges of these coins are important for authentication. Your coin should have two segments. If you post your coin on the other site as I suggested you will probably get your answer by tomorrow at the latest. They will need to see the edge. Then tell us the results. I have formed an opinion - everyone as one. However, the images of the surface of your coin are not detailed enough to have a meaningful opinion from an image. I have an image but cannot figure out how to post it yet :sorry:[/QUOTE]
