I have sent an email to the only Gitbud site I could find asking about their current business situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the coin itself is concerned, I don't see the softness that Dwarf sees. Having the coin in hand, I do not see anything around the edges that would suggest it was cast. Also, before sending the coin in to NGC, I soaked it in distilled water and carefully brushed it with a toothbrush cleaning the punch somewhat. If it is not cast, it had to be punched, and the interior of the punch is not smooth. I don't know; I really don't believe it is a fake, but thanks to all who responded with an opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
