    Not enough photos! :D In all seriousness... (not that I know anything about foreign coins but) it looks real but I could be wrong...

    My dad bought this coin a while ago. I have no idea if it’s real but something tells me the wear is not genuine

    I personally see nothing wrong with the wear but I'll let others comment to either criticize me or agree with me... or a bit of both ;)

    I’m expecting someone to tell us we are both clueless lol. Hopefully it is real though!

    The wear looks natural but the coin may have been cleaned, tough to tell due to glare / reflection on the holder's windows. Best to photograph out of the 2x2.

    I suggest you remove it from the 2x2 and measure weight and diameter. It should be 39mm and 26.4 grams.

    I believe it’s real. I dropped it next to a Morgan dollar and they both sound the same when dropped

    we need to know how it sounds compared with other dropped household items

    I dropped my television in comparison and the coin sounded more silver to me. It must be real!

    Another vote for real. Great picture at capturing what the surfaces and color should look like.
