I would like to see what the edge of the coin looks like. Outwardly the coin appears genuine, but there are a few ares that concern me. The spot on the nose, might be a casting bubble along with a few other spots on the obverse. The edge looks like there is a seem, but that just might be from the picture. If genuine this would be an expensive coin. If you can take a picture without the black background along it te edge of the coin it would help.

Thank you, my friend. I did not mind the aspects you indicated. I saw it now. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the coin is not mine. A seller offered on facebook. I was afraid. I will try to get new photos. Thank you very much!!

I agree with echizento in every way.
Good thinking.

As I see the pictures, and without further investigation, I would NOT buy it at any price.

I would LOVE to examine this coin in hand with a 10x loupe, and to feel if it has greasy surfaces.
Rest in Peace

Looks cast rather than struck. I'd avoid it.

Thank you friends. I have given up buying that coin. The reviews were all very helpful
