Test

I purchased this coin a couple of years ago because, at the time, I was interested in low mintage coins. I didn’t pay a lot for the coin and stuck it away in the safe. Going through the coins today I review this one again and didn’t remember it being so hammered.

In reading about counterfeit detection a few months ago I remember that cast counterfeit copies have granular surfaces. Does this coin appear to have the granular surface I read about? Do you believe it to be authentic?

I’ve checked the edges appear solid and have smooth reeding and the weight is 12.45 grams (very close to the 12.50 specified in the Red Book).
