[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2743489, member: 24314"]I too am no expert. While the surface on the left coin looks pockmarked, the [COLOR=rgb(179, 0, 179)]coin on the right[/COLOR] with the nice planchet flaw on the rim tells my gut: STRUCK [COLOR=rgb(179, 0, 179)]COUNTERFEIT.[/COLOR] Usually, one side of a counterfeit is better executed (has less bad characteristics and style) than the other. I suspect this is such a coin and that's why the OP did not post the reverse as then our determination would have been easier. :D Nevermind, LOL :eggface::facepalm: I see the reverses are posted. Now the coin on the left really looks bad - corrosion, figure; yet I'll stick to my original GUESS.[/QUOTE]
