Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 02/04/2024 6:25 pm I see its previous sale listing here: https://www.biddr.com/auctions/savo...266&l=253233 Not my area, but it looks okay to me. Apparently these are lifetime issues. Beautiful coin. Perhaps some evidence of obverse die rust? Do you have concerns about the coin, Paulo? Report this Post to the Staff
prsferreira Valued Member Brazil 146 Posts	Posted 02/04/2024 7:18 pm Hello, Kamnaskires. I am deeply grateful for the prompt and insightful response. I have no concerns. My main question was whether it was a lifetime issue. Thank you very much for your information and help. Bests Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 02/04/2024 7:25 pm Looks OK on my 24 inch monitor screen to me as well. Nevertheless, high quality fakes in high purity recycled gold exist. Weight OK. I also agree with the need to question those little surface lumps on the obverse (but none on the reverse), with regard to die rust, or something else? Auction record will help with authenticity, (provenance), perhaps a search with earlier sales records may also help. Do your price research first, for similar coins, which may? lead to a purchase of another coin. Report this Post to the Staff
