I have some reservations about this coin and would appreciate your input.

Several inconsistencies in the rim design, variations in circle sizes and odd indents that may indicate prior jeweler mounts?

'2' in date seems oversized
Globs of silver at base of figure near 'fir'
small silver glob to left of face
Inconsistencies in lettering, such as 'F' in Feliz and 'I' in union
Also, variations in coin thickness

Seems so a really good fake from a possible die transfer process. Raised metal dots in the field and these other anomalies. Not sure of these types in terms of their off-center edge devices?

My thoughts too. Just not sure what to think on this one, I've been on the fence about it, but the odd rim disparities and other inconsistencies makes me think it is indeed a copy. thank you for your thoughts on it.
