I can't decide so, Obverse Grade XF40, Reverse Grade AU53

I grade it fake based on the funny looking edges/rims.

Quote: I grade it fake based on the funny looking edges/rims. I think that's because the original image was cropped correctly. As for grade, I think it's XF-40.

I'll say XF40. Seems fitting to me.

XF40 or maybe 45. The upper reverse fields are cause for concern.

I also believe this coin is fake. I tried to attribute the die pairing and it looks like the OC-2 variety with the 2-A die pair. But the date is wrong. The upper serif on the 1 in the date is too thin. The lower serif of the 4 is too thin. And generally, the date is located too far away from the base of liberty.

Well this doesn't bode well for my first coin purchase in decades

No clue as to authenticity, but if real I'd say AU-50.

At first glance, I was thinking fake as well. Only way to know is to send it in for grading I suppose.
