How Does This 20cents Look?

I hate jumping right in and say this is a fake coin but I would say I have concern.

If I had this coin in hand, first thing I would do is look at the reeded edge.
If you have a picture of the edge pleae post it. The edge should be even spaced .. not ...mushy.

Then I would weigh the coin, RedBook has the correct weight.

One of the areas I am concern with are the rims. There seems to be a ridge. This may not be a problem ... But it does concern me

If you are not sure, and there is a good coin dealer in your area, take the coin there and have them look at it.

I think it's real.

It's just your photo's aren't good.

Take a look at this cheap TPG one:

20 Cent Pieces have smooth edges.
I would say genuine. There would be no real reason (value wise) to fake this coin.

Good catch vermontensium ... I have seen quite a few .. but only have the one in my type set ..
I was thinking they had reeded edge .. like a quarter.

I still have concern. As another member mentioned, the stars seem different, not shaped the same.

The rim has a odd ridge on both the obverse and reverse.
Obverse - between 7 o'clock and 10 o'clock
Reverse - between 4 o'clock and 9 o'clock
I don't feel this is a mis-aligned die, because the ones I have seen would have a area of weak detail, near the edge.

This coin has very good detail, but the foot has very little detail. There is also an area in the field, under the foot, to the right of the date that I would like to have a better .. in hand look.

lastly, on the reverse, the dentils between the 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock that area draws my attention.

I would not bet money it was fake .. or real. But I would have enough concern to want it checked out by an expert or a TPG.

Also what is the weight .. correct weight would help me lean toward real.

As for the value of this coin, numismedia list VF at $156 and XF at $240. I have seen fake coins of much less value then this. Of course .. if I was going to fake this date .. I would leave off the "S" mint mark .. or put a CC.

So in that respect ..vermontensium has another very good point.

Thank you for all the replies to my post. I appreciate it.
Actually, the raised portion of the rim really did not concern me very much as I have seen it to varying degrees on other 18th Century coins. This type of rim has been has been discussed here on this forum in the past.

I have weighed the coin. RedBook says it should weigh 5grams and my scale says 4.97grams.
The edge looks smooth, as it should, without any sign of a casting seam or filing.
One area of weak strike that seems common in other 20 Cents has commonly been in the word "CENTS".
Another common weakness in the strike is in the detail on the feet. It seem they are most often smooth, especially the foot on the right( the bird's left!). It was the detail in the foot that interested me in this coin.
I will take and post more photos of this and the 20 Cent piece that it displaced for a comparison. Unfortunately it will have to wait a while. Tomorrow I will be leaving the country for about ten days and will not be able to contribute to this conversation.
Again, thanks for the input!

I step aside to the experts.

Looks like a good coin
