[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1580725, member: 4626"]If someone was going to fake this, wouldn't they want to make a much better looking fake? Although the wear pattern looks kind of suspicious, but this may be because they tried tooling it in a futile effort to make the design at least distinguishable. Or it may just be badly beaten up. I'd only pay slightly over gold melt for this (assuming it's genuine gold). Rare or not, it's not worth paying big money for; if I had that kind of money I'd rather get a nicer looking coin with it. I wouldn't mind owning this if it were real but only if I could get it relatively cheap. Damaged or not I'd want it slabbed just so I would have the assurance that at least it's real.
