It's becoming more and more difficult to tell real from fake, because the counterfeit coins that are coming out of China are excellent copies. So with that in mind, I'm going to say this coin doesn't look right to me and would avoid it.

I would agree with echizento. This is probably a fake.

It is suspect to me also just by the tiny pot metal marks on the surface area around the image. This is in an upcoming auction and by taking your advice I am staying away from it. Thanks guys you have been a big help
