Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 7:18 pm why do you think that this coin is a fake? In my own opinion the photograph is not clear enought to say that... Have you seen this coin in any "fake list"? Report this Post to the Staff

We're all here to share opinions and to learn. So I'll add my 2 cents: I personally lean towards the coin being genuine. Style seems okay to me. The wear seems authentic. The coin is pretty clearly struck, not cast. Of course, there are plenty of modern-struck fakes floating around too...so, evidence of striking does not guarantee that a coin is legit. But striking is at least a positive. The only hesitation I have, and perhaps this is what gives some folks pause (?), is the tightness of the flan. There is certainly more negative space around the portraits on the coins I linked to, and I assume those are pretty standard for the series. But, then, I've seen plenty of legit coins in other series where the flan and portrait sizes varied greatly...so this issue is not enough for me to condemn the coin. I agree with Chris and Ron.
