But then why they done it from silver?
The edge is very beautifuly done and its so different from the other 2 pictures that USSID18 posted.
But maybe I'm wrong , I'm not an expert.

I'm sorry. There's a lot of things that bother me about this coin. The date font is 100% wrong, there are pit marks on the bust from an apparent casting, and the obv shows possible casting signs as USSID mentioned. The stars look much to mushy, and the bust is incomplete (as in parts are missing). The reverse is also like 20 points higher than the obverse, yet the reverse shows lettering missing from what I assume is supposed to be a Struck Through Grease, but the fading just isn't consistent to what it should look like. The denticles are missing in many places. Again way to many red flags. Give me a minute and I'll make a comparison. |

The inconsistent weakness in the strike, around Liberty's right shoulder and neck.
Not to mention the word "ONE" and the word "STATES" also have inconsistent weakness. I have almost 0 doubt that this coin is fake, but others could also chime in with their input.

Notice the font is wrong and serifs missing from the date as well as how skinny the numbers are on the OP coin  Notice how grainy the OP coin is and how the shoulder isn't visible at all.  Notice how the stars on the genuine example are sharp and angular unlike the OP coin which is crude, lumpy and rotund.  Notice how the denticles on the genuine coin sit almost flush with the rim compared to the OP coin which shows them very low and shallow.  |

I'm surprised it took so long for people to realize it was fake. It is not a good quality fake.
I seriously doubt it is silver, and if not 10 euros was way too much for it.

Denticles look odd, which to me is a bit of a red flag, and the wear pattern is strange, but I've been wrong before. I'll defer to the experts on this series.

I agree with it being a complete fake! The date is a give away.
