Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/09/2015 4:13 pm It's a fake. Being off-weight is a huge red flag, plus: - Denticles are weak on the reverse - Flow lines on the reverse--indicative of casting (or being struck from a cast die) - The details on the eyes aren't right - The coin feels "flat"--should have a lot more relief than your specimen - Compare the leaves on the reverse with a genuine piece from Google--the leaves should be in relief, not outlines. Good for you for giving a refund! We need more sellers like you! Report this Post to the Staff
