I'm sorry to disappoint, but this is worth the face value. We researched it. Good luck on your auction and God bless you.

A number of problems with this counterfeit coin become obvious even at a quick glance.

The design elements are weakly defined with a very granular texture. The leaves to the left of the shield blend into the fields. The date is misshapen, and the circular design element above is broken at the bottom. Several parallel raised lines, a common problem with many counterfeits, protrude from the date and the right obverse denticles. It appears to be fake
