wildh0rse New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 07:08 am I'd have to say its real based on these images. Definitely a struck (ie not cast) piece. The details and lettering look correct, it even looks like it has light bagmarks - though a fake could have circulated, but IIRC it did not make sense to counterfiet a coin out of gold since the face value was tied to the gold content. And its not a key date either. Report this Post to the Staff
