I'm afraid it appears to be a fake.
Thank you for the prompt response.
Is there.something that stands out that makes you believe this is fake?

Many thanks

The porosity on surfaces appear cast and it shows the applied 'patina' typical of these. Why no pix of the Obverse?

It is in a little bit too good of shape to be real. It appears to be kind of shiny. If it is real it is worth 4,750 dollars.

look for a small 'E' above the north star on reverse and let us know if you see it.
