This coin will not fool anyone who knows what a genuine 1916 looks like.
Well that leaves me out, I have no idea what is wrong with that coin. But, I would never buy it because the seller never bought or sold anything and he is overseas. Also if I was to buy a key coin or any nice piece for a collection, I would learn what to look for. I don't own a single standing liberty quarter  So besides the sellers obvious shortcomings, what is wrong with it that sticks out? |

Upstate,
Besides what wheatguy said, the 6 is totally wrong. I think people are overlooking this because they see the 1917 characteristics, but to me the 6 is the biggest giveaway. See my post about this above.

Good point Saruma. The 6 is definitely off now that I looked at several 1916's.

Well I've done some reading and the robe near the leg, and the beading near the head are easy to see in your examples. with the coin for sale (the fake) the robe tells, but the beading is difficult to see. No small coincidence the zoom feature was not offered.

Not to mention the awful 6, If I ever spend big money on a coin I'll definitely run it by you guys first. thanks for the information

The seller emailed back. He told me he had it checked at Kensington and they told him it was legit. He states his father bought it in Boston several years ago.
BS. Total BS.

Bid is well over $200 now with 10 hrs to go.
I wonder if it'll reach $1000.

"Item removed, or not available" Either the seller paid heed, or T&S was on duty this weekend.
