Both sides of the coin looks ok in my personal opinion. a VF condition
I hope you also post its edge and its dry weight for me to make it sure if my opinion really coincides in actuality?

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. Weight is 26.95g.
Non metallic and I cannot do SG.

As far as the edge goes........it is a bit rough in most places (see image 2).

Image 1 is a shot of the best of the edge.

Edit above: I meant to say Non magnetic (not Non metallic).
Can anyone else confirm that it is genuine?

Thanks
