I have the opportunity to buy two Fugios. I am 99% sure they are fake based on the edge. Will some experts chime in please. They are the 2nd and 3rd coins from the thumb

Cant seem to find a picture of the edge of a fugio, but these look to have a clear line delineating where two pieces of metal were joined
