Hello guys!
So this coin is for sale but I don't think it's original, but to be sure I want your second opinion.
Seller says he is not sure that it is original (I guess he also thinks it's fake).
Weight: 13.9 g
Diameter: 29-30 mm

@zqter, I can't tell if this posted coin is a fake or real. All I can say is that if I have doubts about a coin, I don't buy it. I'm sure there are some that have crept into my collection over the years, but I see no reason to purchase coins that are questionable.

@Spence, I know but this coin is pretty cheap (6 dollars) so that's why I thought of buying it.
Thanks for help!

@zqter, I hear what you are saying and maybe six bucks makes it worth taking a chance on this coin. For me, I'd rather drop $12 and buy a coin that I don't suspect is fake (and from a dealer who is sure enough of his wares that he is willing to back up the sale with a return policy). In the end, it is your collection so it should be your call.

When a ebay seller says: "I´m not sure about that is original" they want to say: "I´M SURE, IT´S FAKE; but if you think than perhaps could be genuine... You will pay mare money!"
