Thanks for the replies on my last post. 100% saved me from being scammed. I have another I'm looking at doing some trading for. The "R" in Liberty doesn't seem right to me. In my research, I find that the R tails off to a point. This one is just rounded. Any thoughts from some experienced folks? Thank you.   |

It is much better done than the last one but the date looks suspect. Besides looking wrong, it shouldn't be that sharp at that level of wear being above the level of the rims.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Compare date fonts, that is the most outstanding issue.

Fake.

Thank you for you help again. FB market place. I've got the books, scales and calipers. I've heard about a magnetic slide check. Any recommendations?

I would never do any "slide test" or "ping test" on a valuable coin. The first thing you can do is carefully exam any coin you intend to purchase against images of known real ones. The date on this one is comically bad. You don't need any special tests to see that it's fake.

One of the most effective ways of Counterfeit Detection is the basic visual test. Look at 100 1919 SLQs on ebay, both obverse and reverse. After, look back at the present example. You will come to a point like us, when you simply look at a coin, and can immediately tell it is a counterfeit. Knowledge is power! Suffering from bust half fever.
