I can not understand how PCGS-ICS-NGC are authenticating the coins.
For some issues a pop report show over 1.000 coins that it is imposible for a such a rare Essay
It is a known issue in Paraguay and Argentina that the dies where lost in the 70s

Sorry no Swaps. Paraguay Post Office is to risky and they don't allow to send coins nor notes
seems nobody on Numista has this coin in his collection.
Examples sold by professional auction houses seem to also explain that these are modern restrikes https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1916115
still pieces such as this one where sold for 11.000 USD with a starting price of 2.500 USD

unauthorized re-strike is an interesting twist on the counterfeit market. it is surely cheating, others artfully imitate the original artist by actually engraving dies, the way fine art painting copyists make very passable paintings.

If they are using authentic dies, and authentic planchets, and all is to standard, how can you or anyone say it is fake? It is an essay, even an essay is not a real coin.
