Hi everyone

So I have this coin, I do understand that when it's DCAM on PGCS it has a sort of black look to it. What is this coin and is it some sort of error ? Possible grading and value?

Thank you

I think that your coin is not genuine. Please compare it to this one on Numista.

Color and weight aside, there are just too many differences in the details between your coin and the one depicted on Numista.

But it's still interesting, bicken. You could start a "dark" collection - a term applied to counterfeit coins.
