This one fools a lot, especially the fact that it's made to look old and aged. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 10:37 pm I'm not convinced it's fake. Do you have detailed reasons why you think it is? From what I can see, it seems to have the telltale die chip in the upper left of the B, and the striations around the MM match many images of this MM position. I think it's just damaged/corroded. Compare with genuine example from ha.com: Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 10/23/2015 5:30 pm First off, that's not a die chip. It's part of the mintmark...

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/23/2015 6:01 pm I was referring to the die chip in the B in LIBERTY. Certified example: Subject coin: Note also that the diagonal striations (polish lines?) inside the 0 in 1909 match the image I posted above. Maybe counterfeits are that good? Maybe I'm hallucinating? I don't know. Just pointing out markers between this coin and certified examples. If this one matches a known counterfeit, does anyone have images of another example? I realize the MM on this one looks larger than normal, but it's pretty beat up and the image is taken from an angle and not straight on. Report this Post to the Staff
