    That is one handsome looking coin and a fantastic portrait. You're right about; Ritter, their photos for some reason don't enlarge. But I've bought several coins from them in the past and have never been disappointed. I've found them to be a great company to buy from.

    Coin looks genuine. No bronze disease. I'm guessing some tooling on reverse. Check out V-coins and MA-shops - you'll find very reputable dealers there you can trust. There is always a possibility that a forgery may come up for sale - no one is perfect. But at least the dealers on these fora are honest and trusted and would not intentionally try to deceive you.
