Got this one in some change today and something tells me I need to weigh this and determine if it's a fake. The polar bear seems frosted to me however the queen is not but I also see lines tuning vertically so maybe a German planchet? All opinions welcome!   |

No it's not a fake just a circulated coin.

Thanks Mcshilling, any idea why the bear looks frosted or why the coin seems to be blatantly new? Perhaps PL?
