Good day. I have a 1 Tallero which is in extremely good condition (not the grade) with lustre.

I am a little concerned it's a fake as it has a milled edge instead of the FERM around the edge.

Is this a fake or a genuine coin.

Thank you all.

Can you show us pictures of yours.

This is a type that I know most you find around are fakes.

Found on an Italian Numismatic Forum saying that all examples with milled edge are indeed fake coins.

Its always annoying and it happens to all of us. I also haid my fair share of experiences 😱

At least we usually learn from it and with time you will gain experience so that at least it happens not that often to fall for fakes.
