thedeadpoint Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have to ask a dumb question: why doesn't it look genuine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 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 Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbvenman Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 It took me a while to see the double strike. Pretty cool rotation though!!! I'd say it was genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Regards, Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 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? Regards, Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
