@FreiherrVonNumis thanks may I ask what convinces you? Is it the XRF results? Thanks.

From comparison to a PCGS graded authentic example, we know that the fine physical surface details match. The XRF results further solidify the coin as being authentic

I'm inclined to lean towards this being "real" as well, but does anyone have info on the metallic content of an authentic coin? (The star near the rim corner @ k1 appears to be a re-punched star, which matches the PCGS image as well.)

I ask this since an old forgery would most likely have gold in it.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
