SLQ Full Head Designation

very scary prospect of what this could mean for our hobby if they get good enough to make them undetectable. I wish there was a way to verify the age of a coin, like carbon dating does for fossils.

Only pictures, I'd like to get my hands on one for close study but whenever I find one on ebay either the auction gets shut down or it gets bid up to the sky by collectors who believe it and the coin in it are real. I don't mind paying for a fake coin to get the slab, but I really can't afford to sink five or six hundred dollars or more into a counterfeit just to get the slab to study. I have the same problem with the fake ANACS and fake NGC slabs as well. I was involved with their identification since the beginning (ANACS in March 2007, NGC in Aug 2007) but I've never been able to actually get my hands on one.

The problem is that eventually they will be in the hands of US sellers and you can't just use the country where the seller is.

Very nice Vermont! Yours appears to have ever so slightly more wear than mine....And you have the magic ear hole to get your FH designation. :-) Your shield rivets are nicely struck as well.
