To assess whether it is a contemporary counterfeit we need to know dimensions and weight. Out of interest what has made you suspicious? Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a link to a similar coin: https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=l...736&lot=1594 Not sure on fake vs. real--nothing screams fake to me though. For whatever reason, those die polishing marks (or whatever) around the number 9 seem to be quite common. Here is one for sale on the bay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/GERMAN-STATE...AOSwezVWx0Xl "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Edited by Spence 11/24/2016 11:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
