Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 08/18/2011 8:52 pm That date is worth a little money. The photo is poor it looks grainy and I don't like the date. Need better photos for a good evaluation. With that photo I would not buy. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 08/18/2011 10:09 pm Agreed, an expensive date worth counterfeiting. Surfaces look granular and details are too blunt. It looks a bit like Seawater Effect corrosion but counterfeit seems most likely. I'd insist on a slabbed example (or a solid guarantee) on this date to ensure authenticity.

This would be a date that I would generally stick to slabbed examples. I would only buy it raw only if I were sure that I could authenticate it. Report this Post to the Staff

The photos are waaaaaay too small to form any concrete opinions. In them, the lettering looks too chunky and irregular. The date location seems a little too right for most, and a little too left for the one known "far date" variety. No opinion whatsoever can be rendered regarding surface originality.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/19/2011 12:50 pm Authentic, and at the right price, it's a worthy investment even if it's a Details coin. There are only so many to go around. Report this Post to the Staff
