Sorry I work weekends, 12 hr shifts and between work and sleep often don't get back here til monday.

To answer you question, it is fake because the date is wrong. Too large and too spread out. The date on these is small, compact and doesn't come close to touching the top edge of the area the date is placed in. Compare yours to the date in the 5th post. The date is correct on that one.

As Big-Kingdom pointed out the thread from May also has that same incorrect style date.

This still leaves us with the question as to whether RDuke1981's coin is real. Unfortunately there is no image on the NGC website.

Although not definitive proof, it does seem strange to me that the pictures of the obverse and the reverse are taken with different backgrounds and different lighting. Would make a lot of sense if the 2 photos are not of the same coin.

No worries. Thought you might have thought I was trolling you. Anyway, I think I've confirmed your assessment. I took the coin out and did all the measurements. Diameter? OK. Thickness? OK. Magnet test? OK. Weight? about 5g light.
Thanks for your help.

Crazy. I'll knock that one off of my cherry-pick list.
