Had this 1860 IHC in envelope marked with a ?. Do not remember anything about it. Looks ok to me, but would appreciate your opinions. Thank you. Weighs 4.8g.

    Perhaps a better set of pics with improved lighting would help in making a determination. From what I can tell, there aren’t any red flags that would point to it being altered or a counterfeit, just some corrosion on the lower reverse.

    If you’re basing that on the third obverse image I think you’re seeing a distortion caused by the angle of the shot.
