I would like your opinion on the above coin. It is Italian States - Tuscany - Leopoldo II - 5 Paoli - 1828 - Krause C #73, Numisita #21583
Weight 13.72g as per catalog, dia 31.32mm and thickness 2.28mm.
To me it looks counterfeit - too clean, detail too sharp, strange shadow on the lettering. Also I dont believe I could be that lucky !!
What are your thoughts ? if it is a fake is it a "known one"? What gives it away ? any specifics or just 'gut feel' ?
I will be very happy if it is genuine but expectations have been set !

Personally nothing screams FAKE to me.
Can you make pictures of the edge there seems to be embossed lettering or something on the HA pictures.

Yes, if you could make some sharper images I would vote for replacing the current HA ones (they are overexposed) also the missing edge

Verweis : "Idolenz" Yes, if you could make some sharper images I would vote for replacing the current HA ones (they are overexposed) also the missing edge I will try over the next day or so.

Thanks all for your postive views - not what i was expecting to be honest. I am very happy with those views especially given possible values in Krause catalog even if, as i understand, values are often on high side.

Looks perfectly fine, and I've seen my fair share.
I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!
