<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3241202, member: 19463&quot;]It strikes me that your coin has a slightly strange look to the face which is exactly what this issue from this mint has on the examples I was able to find online.&nbsp; Every mint during this period had a style like we each have a style of penmanship/handwriting.&nbsp; The easiest way to copy this style would be to make casts but your coin looks nothing at all like the garden variety casts we see all too often.&nbsp; It looks struck as it should.&nbsp; The coin even has a weak die clash on the reverse which certainly could be copied in a cast but looks perfectly normal to me.&nbsp; What I&#039;m saying here is the coin is either genuine or one of the highest level fakes I have seen.&nbsp; The only way we will show it to be a fake is if we find other exact clones of the coin proving the maker was very good but unable to stop by making just one coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We always tell new people not to buy coins from sources they do not know and trust. You did not tell us where you got the coin other than &#039;online&#039; so we don&#039;t know if the source would be of concern because they are known sellers of fakes or reassuring because they were known experts that would be hard to fool.&nbsp;&nbsp; I agree that the coin is so nice, it is reasonable to be suspicious.&nbsp; Was this a test?&nbsp; If so, I failed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
