It looks like environmental damage rather than repaired surfaces. The entire obverse looks like it has ED and that area between the forearm and knee is funky. I would say it was sitting at the bottom of the ocean except the reverse looks fine.

AU details. Die clash for sure. May be some evidence of old ED in right obverse field, which may have been the reason for cleaning.

If it is a cast counterfeit, different (accurate) weight and ping tone should expose it.

Smalldawg and Sel, This is NOT a counterfeit coin. I sent it in to PCGS and my previous post says that they graded it AU details - Environmental damage.

It seems that members are forgetting to actually read the whole thread before responding.

Anyway, this is not a fake. I have a feeling that your photography makes coins look slightly worse than they are. Just a suggestion.

I never thought of it as a counterfeit coin; I still agree with moxking.

Nevertheless for those who have thoughts that it may be a counterfeit, I have suggested the first convenient and inexpensive steps that may be taken to check it out for that possibility.
