Rims are sharp frankly too sharp and doubled/wire rimmed. Coin has most of its mint luster, central devises are weak and mushy with maybe VF detail. By now red lights should be flashing, claxons and sirens sounding.

The rims are the first giveaway. This is a heavily counterfeited coin in general, and this looks to be one of them, sorry.

Thanks T-Bop for pointing out the incorrect angle of the date. A sure sign of it being fake.

In general, it looked fake to me also and that date was the easy clincher.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

You found it in a roll? Really? Okay.

So my question: What's the point? If someone is going to take the time and effort to fake this, why not do it with a VDB?

The most expensive coins are always counterfeited.

That's correct and the S isn't the most expensive.

Didn't get that far. I had condemned it as a fake and stopped looking before I got around to looking at details like the date.
