Every day I compare genuine coins with coins that might not be genuine. Sometimes there are glaring differences, sometimes the differences are less obvious.
I thought it might be fun to let forum members practice their skills noticing differences in a coin I will post and a genuine coin.
I have made SIX changes to each coin I will post.
To allow more people to participate, please review the coin and tell me ONE difference between the coin posted and a genuine coin. Limit your post to ONE difference (per coin).
When all six differences are discovered, I will post another coin. I have prepared images for 6 different coins.
Your reply can be in the form of an image with the difference circled, or just describe the difference in detail. Edited by nss-52

"pluribus" is missing the letter "I"
I see one, maybe two others. I'm impressed with your Photoshop skills.

Correctly identified differences, so far:
1) Buffalo's mouth is missing.
2) PLURIBUS missing letter I.

Something looks different in the grass, tufts moved / redrawn?

There is a bump on the back leg if that counts.

"Bump on back leg" not detailed enough.

An original coin does not show the slab's ring around it.
Besides that the E in E Pluribus Unum has been shifted slightly to the left. Its spine should be centered with the U's upward arms.
