Why do you suspect it is fake? Why are you asking?

Oh sorry for the missing infos...I bought the coin for my collection and spent a lot of money (purchased it in an auction)..just want to make sure that I only have genuine coins in my collection.

The striking is really sharp....

I don't see any reason to condemn it.

Pressed implies that the planchet/rim has everywhere the same thickness.
If you press with hydraulic press the power/strength will be spread prefectly horizontal on all areas of the planchet with the same power.
Exception if part of planchet is outside of dies when they press, this part of planchet will look really strange but will have of course different thickness.

Did you look for die matches or die links in museum collections?

The coin was offered at a respectable auction house in March.
So no problems

Unless they are on the NFSL (bad) or are Procurator Monetae (good), we do not discuss or even name sellers here. Your link did that. Do not name sellers. And every seller can make a mistake, so that is not considered proof of authenticity for our purposes here.
