Find some pictures of genuine pieces and compare. I think you will easily see the difference. Report this Post to the Staff

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 07/06/2017 7:54 pm Coin is a fake. Lettering is wrong, weight is wrong and the edge detail is wrong. Where did you acquire it, tell us the back story on how you came to possess the coin. Did you believe it to be real? Report this Post to the Staff
