I don't think many of the people from USA see these a lot, so I have a picture as compparisment below. Report this Post to the Staff

Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 7:24 pm yes very strange, and the ultra wear marks or scratches doesn't make it a lot easier on it.. Almost looks like someone purposely took this coin and beat it with a meat grinder for a few hours Although it reminds me of scratches like on a unstruck coin planchet or something I have no idea whatsoever.

maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 4:59 pm I would tend to say it's a forgery. I have myself a similar looking 50 cent-coin from Spain. I kept it because I believe it's counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 5:25 pm That could be a good explanation? Is there much difference in weight? If such coins were forged in large quantities, they might add "wear" before released so details get less scrutiny Report this Post to the Staff
Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 08:57 am That would be possible, as I have heard this before.. But the weight is correct, it's non magnetical as it should be and most people on a Dutch forum agree it's real. Unfortuanetly I can not translate some of the terms they use for their explenations :( So for now I just put it in the pot with coin "errors".. Report this Post to the Staff
