paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/17/2018 9:39 pm The first area I look is the lower reverse. Compare the design of the lower center reverse of the genuine example posted above, and note the detail and separation in the leaves, compared to OP's copy. Also pay attention to the design and shape of the leaves and stems on either side of the dividing center bar on the reverse.
