echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/20/2018 6:49 pm I don't see any cast line along the edge or bubbles in the surface, the coin looks struck and not cast. A good sign but it still could turn out to be fake. Unless someone is seeing any red flags that I may be missing. I'm still going to say it's good. Report this Post to the Staff
