Xbalanque New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/05/2020 2:06 pm Oops! I did not mean to submit my post, but did somehow. Is this a fake? Look at the nose on the obverse, and the far right side on the reverse. There is some "flaking" sort of. Does that mean it is fake? Report this Post to the Staff

Xbalanque New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 02/05/2020 3:12 pm Thank you Bob L. I like everything about this coin. But in reading on this website I saw a post that said flaking could mean it's fake, so I wondered. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 02/05/2020 8:27 pm to the community The coin has a minor issue with some flaking which happens. The weight is correct and outwardly IMO the coin appears to be genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34521 Posts	Posted 02/05/2020 8:35 pm Ok well @bobl and @echizento know a whole lot more about these than I do--you should follow their opinions. I just get nervous about these things...
