secoinedchance Valued Member Canada 449 Posts	Posted 10/18/2012 2:03 pm The DEI looks out of alignment to me. Each letter seems rotated clockwise. And all the lettering seems too close to the denticles. I'm not an authority in this area though. Edited by secoinedchance 10/18/2012 2:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9875 Posts	Posted 10/18/2012 3:23 pm Appears to be acceptable Fake or not,$1000 is way too much. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 10/18/2012 3:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Old Dimes New Member Canada 49 Posts	Posted 10/18/2012 4:40 pm what make me wonder is this: 1875 is supposed to be OBV 2. there are a few aspects that just do not match obv 2. Granted, I lifted the images of the dealers web site, but I think everything should still be in proportion. the bottom point of the bust pointing to the wrong location, the crown, the nose. I might be wrong, but then again, maybe it did come from the far east? unfortunately, I do not have a 1875 to compare it with. Maybe someone could post one? Report this Post to the Staff
