    Found this in an old Dansco album. Thanks to @messydesk for the great images.

    Beautiful chocolate toning. Some people are into die cracks also. I see it on the obverse. Nice details and strike!

    I'm suspicious of this coin. Weird color, and other red flags that make me question its authenticity all together.

    I am absolutely not an expert in this series or even in authenticating, so take that with a grain of salt. But this one doesn't sit right with me, especially the hair above the ear and overall "porous" look.

    My hesitant answer is that its a fake.
