You should ask for help on confirmation of it's authenticity. There's lots of smarter folks on here than me. I'd like to know. I hope and pray I haven't fallen for any fakes. D**n the Chinese! Good luck.

Ah, I see, you suspect it may be fake. Most definitely need better eyes on it. Or take it out of the 2x2, but I understand why you might not want to.  |

Here is a closer pic. Sorry abt the shaky hand on the rev pic but I cant get it clear. The only thing that stands out to me is the date. Way too thin and way too much clarity for an orig 1919. I have looked at it with my 8x loupe and I now believe it to likely be an altered date on an authentic SLQ. Even has a weak obv die clash which points away from counterfeit.   Edited by mdh157

I agree, the date looks highly suspect.

Date is completely wrong, the 1's should be basically capital I's with stubby triangular serifs, whereas these 1s have a triangular flag on top and well defined rectangular serifs at bottom. Also, some of the drapery looks out of shape, at least from what I can tell from the pics. Probably a complete fake from counterfeit dies. A refund is definitely the move here.

Definitely counterfeit. The date is wrong. Hopefully you can get your money back on it.
Errers and Varietys.

Interesting counterfeit as the font style in the 1 was not used until the recessed date in 1925. The counterfeiter took the font style from a later date and put it on the pedestal design.
