The devices and lettering look great. The only thing that makes me leery are the die polishing lines. Thanks for your time.

First of all , even if it was genuine, it is illegal to own as they were never released to the public and are considered government property so it could be seized as some that have already been. Also the weight should be .93 g.

There are many Chinese counterfeits of these out there that you can buy for less than 2 dollars so you can see why I am sceptical of it's legitimacy.

If the presence  of die polishing lines is the only thing that makes you leery, you need to stop buying coins immediately, and start doing a lot more research. Nearly every coin you have posted on this forum has been either counterfeit, or not what you claimed it to be. It makes one wonder if you are being scammed, or if you are planning to scam others.

False. Likely made with a pair of transfer dies. Examine the lettering, digits.
