This coin doesn't look legit. The reverse denticals appear too large and interconnected and typically the very prominent reeded edge is visible but it appears more flat than it should be. Thoughts?

Coin looks ok to me, just had a clean at sometime, plus two acid test stains on OBV.

RE acid test stains reminds me when I would buy coins off a jeweler back in the early 1980's every coin would have a test stain.No internet then and online price guides, to be honest I made a killing bought every coin as scrap wow those where the days you could buy for peanuts and sell for $$$$/££££

It doesn't scream fake to me - what are you comparing the reverse denticles to?

Much sharper and defined on that coin. Also this seller has been selling a lot of fakes in real slabs so I question this ones authenticity regardless.
