It's a little porous and was cleaned at some point but looks better in hand, and I got a good deal on it. If better surfaces it would've cost more than I can afford for one coin. There is a pretty cool history behind this coin, and I like how the obverse is well centered. I'm assuming those are bankers marks on the surface? Report this Post to the Staff

This one appears to be genuine to me and has wear that appears natural. It's worn but still shows enough of the detail to make collectible. I like it. Report this Post to the Staff

It is about the biggest historical name you could ask for, and a pretty cool design. Like Ron says these are highly faked, and for that reason I would be very cynical and careful about making such a purchase. It might well be that you did OK on this one and I have no reason to think it isn't legitimate but I would only buy such an item from a verified and trustworthy source. Report this Post to the Staff
