NickelCollector Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 5:20 pm I believe the middle one is fake because of the spacing and shape of the letters in LIBERTY. Anyways, if I wanted to get this just plain authenticated and maybe graded, who should I send it to? Report this Post to the Staff

NickelCollector Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 6:10 pm Ok, so I've looked at the LIBERTY. And it seems that's it's full, which would probably be right if the coin was PL. or maybe it's just a nice, strong strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Aahz Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 9:42 pm Look at johntookit's counterfeit. Without having to measure LIBERTY, look at the hair and how there appears to be worn areas even though the surface still looks fresh. The die for striking this counterfeit was most likely made from an XF/AU coin, and when the counterfeits were struck, they had "built-in" wear on Liberty's hair because of that. Compare with the hair on the two genuine coins. Report this Post to the Staff
