[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 355985, member: 112"]As for the condition, the coin is supposed to represent what is known as a Royal, or a Presentation Cob. They were struck with great care for almost all years from specially prepared dies and planchets. But nothing I can find explains the few design differences this coin has from other known examples. As I mentioned earlier, the most obvious of these is the date on the obverse - there should only be 2 numbers there, and there are 3. Given that, I still have my suspicions that the coin is a fake. Only an in hand examination by an expert in these coins would convince me otherwise.[/QUOTE]
