Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 10:53 am We need way better pictures to determine if the coin is legit or not. At least one from the front the back and the rims/side. Also weigh it to see if it weighs what its supposed to. Use google search it'll help Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 3:40 pm Not genuine. Too crude. One of the many cast examples out there. Welcome to the CCF :-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7624 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 3:45 pm Slightly better pics. In my opinion, it is a cast copy and is essentially worthless. Report this Post to the Staff

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5860 Posts	Posted 10/16/2015 10:54 am Well, on the bright side, at least we don't need to chastise Laura for holding an incredibly rare and valuable coin with her fingers like that...

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 10/16/2015 4:27 pm Good point. As a lesson to all unexperienced numismatists and owners of rare coins, Touch them as little as possible and only by the edge. Edited by Numisma 10/16/2015 4:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
