<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2251079, member: 19165&quot;]I&#039;m going to say its real - there isn&#039;t anything on there that points to fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>Things I usually look at - 1. The dentilation - you can often spot fakes by looking at the dentils. They are really hard to get right, for some reason. If those pass, then 2. The wheat stalks around the binding rope. A mushy strike from a counterfeit will significantly lack detail here. 3. The surfaces. Look for pimpling from casting, or other unusual marks. If the coin passed the first 2, it is likely that you won&#039;t find much here either. 4. The &quot;fabrique&quot; of the coin. Does it &quot;feel&quot; right? Look at the crispness of the strike, the quality of the work, and the overall appearance of the coin. Does it look like a genuine mint product? </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin passes all those - it is either a *really* high quality fake, or it is a genuine coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, it has been harshly cleaned/polished, and it has seen a decent bit of wear. Thus, I put it at EF Details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
