Very nice coin, though it may have been cleaned? It looks like it has some hair lines.

That I don't know. I am more concerned about it being counterfeit.

I'm more inclined to believe it's counterfeit. It just doesn't quite look right.

IDK...but it looks like the reverse denticals line up spot on on your coin? The obverse seems to have a slight shift cockwise (ever so tiny)...maybe a different die?
What is the weight?
Probably pretty'd up but still a beaut.
I like it for the right price.

Both coins weigh 5.0 grams (my scale doesn't do 100ths). I have seen so much about there are more fakes than real coins out there. Apparently, tons of a "Beirut" fakes?

What is a good price on the coin?

I would say $650 or so...

coin facts shows a couple of these graded out AU/details selling between $720-$876.

Looks fake. If it's real, then it's been worked over - whizzed and polished.

Your other 54 had a true look of gold...this one does not show that color.
Can you post another pic with better color of the coin...maybe even side by side with this one?

Of all things, the ear looks a little strange on the coin in question.

The Coin on the left, Her eye seems to be 10-15% bigger than the Coin on the right. The Coin on the left, She seems to have a more chubby look than the right, that could be from more circulation I guess.
