pfriddle Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 10/17/2010 5:16 pm I might be able to pick up this quarter pretty cheap. Based on these pictures, can you tell if it's a fake? I've wanted one of these for a while but don't really want to pay what they cost. Of course, I don't want to but a fake either. I saw in another post that there are fakes floating around now. So, what do you think? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 10/18/2010 04:33 am I would be worried. The pictures are inadequate, but from what I can see, the details look mushy, even for a worn coin. It has obviously been cleaned. Can't say much beyond that without better pics. ACE Mike Report this Post to the Staff
pfriddle Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 10/18/2010 2:11 pm Thanks guys. I passed on it. It sold for ~$270 with a few other pretty nice coins. I hope I didn't pass up a sweet deal on a real coin. Oh well. Report this Post to the Staff

AGCoinHunter Pillar of the Community United States 625 Posts	Posted 10/19/2010 10:46 am Saw one of those at a local coin shop in a PCGS holder which was fake. The owner was pointing out the flaws in slab and markings but to the untrained eye one would never know the difference. Pretty scary. Report this Post to the Staff
ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 10/19/2010 2:21 pm There are enough real coins out there. Not worth chasing a bargain and possibly ending up with a fake. That's no bargain! ACE Mike Report this Post to the Staff
