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.
The pictured coin looks like a fantastic coin to me.

Yes, if you could make some sharper images I would vote for replacing the current HA ones (they are overexposed) also the missing edge :°
Here is the edge. I can make out CINQUE PAOLI DUB FIORINI dot ie 5 paoli, 2 Fiorini which all looks consistent

Any suggestions on grading accepting pic quality?
looks good to me too.

​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.

look at the L and P of Leopold...very different.
It looks same to me as others from 1828

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!
