Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 05/25/2011 07:52 am Don't see how it could be real with the raised rim. These coins had flat rims with denticles basically going all the way out to the edge of the coin. I'll be careful and not buy this coin! Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/25/2011 09:24 am I would definitely say a bad fake. Here is a good website from someone who seems to know what he is talking about. http://home.comcast.net/~reidgold/d.../page_7.html After a quick look, I think the one in your pic is what the author of this page calls the "Lightweight." The rim is a dead giveaway, the space of the lettering from the rim is too wide, and the general poor copy of the design also contribute. I think the page could use some updating though as I have a sliver copy from the Tree mint in China that is not listed and fits a good deal of the info he has listed as being legit. The problem with the newer copy is that it mixes up a legit back die with a legit front die. edited b/c I forgot the link! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 05/25/2011 5:16 pm Great link - I have one of these dollars, so this makes me a little nervous! I'll be posting a pic as soon as I figure out how you guys do it! (Mine doesn't have the raised rim, so I'm not out of the game yet!) Report this Post to the Staff
