Okeanos1795 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/18/2022 2:34 pm I purchased the coin a few days ago from an ebay seller called catoctinrarecoin. They had a 100% feedback and have sold on the site for many years and were also affiliated with round table so they seem at least somewhat legitimate. However, I've been sold fake coins by legitimate dealers before so I've come here to get some second opinions. I see some damage that almost looks like casting bubbles, but the coin does weigh 27 grams. I'm gonna try and get it authenticated by a third party on Friday but any expert opinions would definitely be welcome as to figuring out if I should just return it instead.

southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 04/18/2022 3:40 pm , the only input/advise I can give you is to research and learn about the coin you are considering buying, BEFORE, you buy. Learn what the coin should look like, compare the seller's photos to coins you see on legitimate sites. Looks like you already did your homework on the seller. Best of Luck!
