No, Bob, it's not about the edge - look on the eagle, the whole avers is wrong. The eagle is especially funny and resembles some cartoon character. Lettering is wrong, too.
In my opinion, if I don't know how the coin should look like, I would consult a book, before spending thousands of dollars read.gif

Of course, you are right ... however, I noticed the funny cast look of the edge first, then I didn't bother to look at the rest. smile.gif
