Fake.  FYI we do not allow screening of potential purchases here, and you should state why you doubt the coin.

Thank you for the information. I considered it understandable to be able to get advice and help for more novice collectors to learn.

The coin is fake--seem mark apparent on the edge, soft soapy surfaces.  Please read the rules.

You shouold also check the fakes file before posting.  This is actually a well-known fake.  Compare the reverse to real specimens.
