denkan Valued Member Sweden 146 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 08:36 am Hi, I don´t know this serie so I would like your opionion if this is genuine or not. The weak areas on the obverse and funny looking lip made me wonder. Did a quick googleling on varieties but wasn't able to identify it. /denkan Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 09:24 am Looks like it suffers from some environmental damage. Whether it's genuine, or not, I can't tell for sure from these pictures. My gut tells me it is probably the real deal. Report this Post to the Staff
denkan Valued Member Sweden 146 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 09:28 am The weight is about 3.12 g and the diameter is 19 mm. Report this Post to the Staff

muddyknuckles Valued Member United States 272 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 09:51 am My opinion was real without the weight and diameter looks like it was possibly dug up at some point in time. Report this Post to the Staff

denkan Valued Member Sweden 146 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 4:27 pm Thank you för your comments. Gradewise, is it F- or VF- details? Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 10/05/2019 9:32 pm I would say VF-30 details . Let a IHC expert check out that last 6 of the date . Looks different than the first 6 . Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/06/2019 12:38 am It looks real to me. I'd grade it vf-30 details as well. And I agree, T-BOP, something's up with those "6s" not matching. Report this Post to the Staff
