Let's just say that I wouldn't buy it.
Also the weight should be 27.07g, too big a variation for a silver coin.

I would not make much of that weight difference for this type of coin.

I'm pretty sure it's fake. The weight isn't correct. It got that certain "look" to it. I wouldn't buy it. Here's a link to a genuine slabbed example on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3875391781...no&gbrtmp=no

Thank you guys, yes I know the weight should be 27 but maybe they polished off 0,5g :)
it has "circulation-dings" on the front that has since been polished on MF and shield, if fake someone has put alot of work into it. The denticles look suspicious thou
interesting discussion

this is a real example
