marckdaniels Valued Member Uruguay 150 Posts	Posted 10/19/2022 11:40 am I acquired this coin in an auction, for less than 10 USD. To my surprise, this seems legit coin, but the price I paid for it makes me really wondering if it is actually legit What are your thoughts?

Next to a picture of a real one this one will show to be an obvious fake. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
