Not my area of expertise. I am hoping someone who is familiar with this series would shed some light on this one:

weight?
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I don't have it yet.
Being shipped to me now.
Other than correct weight- and I know that plays a factor in deciding if its legitimately genuine, does the overall 'look' set off any red flags?

Perhaps you have just planted the idea in my head, but the overall "feel" of the piece is modern counterfeit to me.

Well, there you go.
Serves me right for dabbling in an arena I know very little, if anything about.

I really try my best not to provide an opinion in connection with authenticity without a complete investigation. My recollection is this coin is not rare… it is fairly available in an average circulated grade. Just one observation in the form of a question… Would the multiple rim dings exist on a modern counterfeit?
