moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 8:08 pm Looks pretty beat, but I see no indications of fakery. Do you have photos of the reverses? Edited by moxking 07/04/2018 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coinC New Member Australia 6 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 8:13 pm Yeah, and the rim is completely flat and thicker. The obverse looks like a bad print either that or just fading. Report this Post to the Staff

coinC New Member Australia 6 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 10:24 pm Thanks, but the rim is not raised at all. Also forgot to mention it is only the bottom coin from the top photo of the reverses. Report this Post to the Staff

ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 07/04/2018 10:36 pm However there are fakes but not something you should even care about, fake ones have a lot less details on the face of the man and the shrubs. Report this Post to the Staff
