Interesting, I thought it looked odd.

To me, looks like it possibly had a past acid cleaning which caused the issues with the surface. I wonder about the weight of the coin  |

The last time I went to the coin store that I buy silver from every Christmas, they had several rolls of these mixed in with the bullion. I bought some Barber halves instead. |

That is a very unusual looking Stone Mountain. I agree it looks suspicious. Raw coins are always a risk. But, a twenty five dollar possible mistake is small compared to other deals involving buying fake gold, fake Bust dollars, etc.

Buying a fake coin teaches you a lesson you never forget. Even so I'm still forgetful. Never could pass up a deal in the junk coin bin. This subject has been discussed here recently. http://goccf.com/t/286188#2432316Your coin looks more like corroded and genuine rather than the fake.

Looks original to me, a few surface issues but real imo.

Hard to tell what you have from these scans. Better photos sure would help. My gut feel is that it is counterfeit based on all the rough lettering.

IMO, the suspect appearance of the coin is solely due to poor photo quality.

It is legit. Weighs 12.5g, check the silver content and its 90%. Appears to have been cleaned (which I assumed). Thabks for everyones input. I really do appreciate it.
