a difficult one?

At 16 grams almost certainly fake. Superb FDC, unworn examples never weigh more than 15.2 grams, worn examples should be in the 14.5 range. I also don't like the raised rim on the reverse, these never show any sign of the edges of the dies, and the lettering is unusually large.

There appears to be a seam running along the 6 - 9 clock positions, although this may be caused by the way the photo was taken.

I can say there is no seam on this coin, as rick says it is by the way the photo was taken.

Thank you very much for your comments..
