Hello all,

Just wondering your thoughts about this piece. Any red flags for authenticity? What grade would you give this coin?

Weight is 6.33 grams, diameter 27 mm which is slightly under perhaps due to wear.

Thanks friends

Sorry but it is a counterfeit.
It is also underweight.

Thanks JimmyD.

What are the things to look for to identify vs the real ones?

There are many minor markers on both sides.
Do a side by side comparison and you will notice
on the Obverse the opening on the 8, the positioning of
the lettering to the bust. On the reverse compare the
positioning of the lettering to the right column. These are
just some of the more noticeable ones.
