Fake or genuine? Italy 1919 10 centesimi

Hello all! Long time user of the site, but first post here.

I recently acquired this 1919 10 centesimi and I'm wondering, since it's a rare type and sometimes faked, if mine is genuine? I am just not knowledgeable enough to know for sure myself and I'd appreciate your thoughts and input.

Many thanks in advance!

Always add weight and size, because without it there is not much to check.

And a photo from the edge, because many fakes can be determined from the looks of the edge.

Yes of course, can't believe I forgot to add that! Diameter is 22.5mm, weight is 5.46g, die axis 6h.

Here are some edge photos:

This is the coin in question BTW: N#1960

The edge is plain, so it doesn't tell a lot. Weight and size look within tolerances. Comparing your pics with those of the catalogue I see no abnormalities, just some wear and tear.

It might be the most rare year, but I would expect a forger to go for a UNC one then instead of this used one. 

I see no reason to question its authenticity.

Thanks! That's great to hear. Part of what made me question it was the somewhat soft surfaces, including the very faint signatures. But that could simply be wear, and the coin is dinged up somewhat.

looks fine to me. 

I like the patina inside the scratches.

Quite a nice example.

Here is mine,  not so nice, and with a rim dent.
