The jury's still out after looking at the many comparisons shown. Answering kbbpll's question, if it's a stolen coin the seller (thief in the event) probably wouldn't have a clue as to it's real value. Still, would not by it.

I do not have quite the expertise with these to do the great diagnostic sleuthing others have provided, but looking at this coin's overall appearance, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Weak mushy details, an overall flat appearance with no toning or luster - it just looks off. Maybe they managed to get most of the engraving right, but no way it's real in my opinion.

Yeah, I couldn't find enough evidence to have it removed. You're also hamstringed because you can't do all the in hand tests and have to find proof based off the pictures. I was tempted to buy it just so I could run the tests. If was a counterfeit, I would have been able to send it back even though they offered no returns.

If it was a counterfeit it was a great one.
