Recently acquired this coin at an online market place with usually trustworthy counterparties. The coin looks remarkably well for its age, Diameter is OK, specific gravity test comes close (room temeperature, tap water). Weight is a little high. Anything that would make you think this is fake? Last but not least, it developed a slight golden tone in the 4 weeks or so I stored it in an old coin case.

This one looks counterfeit to me. Clearer photos are needed.

Agree. My first thought on the first photo is that it looks polished. If not, it's likely not genuine. It looks off. Sorry.
