Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 4:09 pm Date looks messed up and face looks off. Color is weird too. If this is real you scored a rare coin in excellent condition, but I have my doubts. Wait for edweather or one of the daves opinions Report this Post to the Staff

lenver Valued Member Canada 121 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 4:18 pm Thought it may be too good to be true! As I really know nothing about these coins I appreciate you guy's giving me feedback. I really thought it was real and was almost about to send it off for grading. Looks like I may have saved some money. Report this Post to the Staff

lenver Valued Member Canada 121 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 6:51 pm I have also noticed that there is a break in the bottom of the O in the word "One" on the reverse which is odd as I haven't read that this could be an error with this coin and points more to a mistake of the forger. With the help of the experienced guy's on this forum I am now totally convinced that this is a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
