Uncertified. Designer's initial a bit off maybe. 2/1 not quite right. Looks like a fake to me.

What say ye?

I could do better in my basement with a chisel and vise-grips.

There's a hit to the top of the 2 and possibly the base of the 2, but it could be genuine. I don't see any red flags other than the slant at the base of the 2.

It is a circulated coin that has been heavily cleaned/polished - details can have been lost through all of that. Another Merc that should be bought in a slab.
