Belgium 5 Francs 1943 - French Legends - Doublestrike

Does this one look genuine to you guys?

I have to ask a dumb question: why doesn't it look genuine?

Well it's just in a low grade. Little detail. It could come from the wear, but casted coins also look like that. I will have it weighed this weekend, so that should be a good test.

Anyway, it's a nice coin. I also collect forgeries, so there is no real problem

It took me a while to see the double strike. Pretty cool rotation though!!! I'd say it was genuine.

It looked even more dodgy in the ad itself, but the more I look at it, the more I believe it to be genuine.




This is an example of a normal one:

I weighed it at a coinfair last week and it's .2 grams short of the weight (6 grams).
I guess the weight is acceptable, taking into account that there is some wear and it's only 3.3% off.

Any thoughts?
