lennysky Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Had this one for a while (7-8 years). It rings, has all the right features, including the edge, but appears to be a bit light (7.8 grams). If it is fake, wondered how this one was manufactured.

lennysky Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Here is the edge. Does not seem to be hand made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE MOULDING Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Reverse lettering looks suspicious, though now I compare to others it may be OK. Somehow it just doesn't feel right though. Better pictures? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennysky Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 This is about as good as I can do with reducing it small enough to post. I can send it to BKB and he to you if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennysky Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 No one else I guess. Probably fake then. Will put it in my melt pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davide Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Happy New Year to everybody, before anything else I think as Steve. This coin, to me, is an evident fake. Moreover, the weight, too far from the standard (25% off!), certifies that it is not good. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I like these photos better Just need to use more light, i.e. put a table lamp and then adjust the white color balance then it looks all good. I like the details. I have no opinion about this being genuine or fake but if it's going to be sold for scrap, I'll take it rather than seeing it melted down. If genuine, I'll send it back.

lennysky Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thank you for the offer. I think as a fake it should still be of some value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
