I have been acetoning coins  I ask so other rookies wont have to Weight cheks out on the 80 The other is a 83-O Switched places on last picture    Edited by Moniker

My untrained eyes agree that there seem to be slight differences.
Have you considered that it may be because they were minted at different mints?

They look pretty normal to me.  |

Comparing one from a year to another is not going to bring exact results depending on when the master hubs were retooled. See if you can take it to a coin shop and have a sigma test and a magnet slide test. The Chinese are getting good at weights, thicknesses etc. I admit the left one looks off to me as well. The pics though are slightly tilted in the view. If you know how to use a graphics program, get a COINfacts photo of that same date and do an transparent overlay. These typically will show a fake. I did this one many years ago and posted it: http://goccf.com/t/119357 |

The 1880 has the look of a lot of the Chinese fakes and seems off to me.

Thank you, yes it seem of, it was bought from a dealer with good reputation but mistakes can be made. the chin area seems bigger. like a chunky 1921. Here is the trueview that made me buy her I don't like those photos, atleast she was cheap. If I ever need to use a dating service I will call them adding 83 to Might be wear that makes her look different or maybe a fake, or maybe the die variations are so large, I don't know much of the topic   Edited by Moniker

Can you image a side-by-side picture of the rims?

could one have a bit more wear on it flattening out the face?

Possibly Dearborn but the face still looks bigger but might fool the eye. BH like this?  |

The 80-s is a better strike so possibly a tad higher relief which may alter appearance

The reeding on the rims is telling a tale. I don't like the looks of the coin on the bottom. I would need to investigate further but the reeding is not what I would want to see.

Compare that to the reeding in the pic I posted at the link above. It says a lot. This is likely an older fake since in recent years they have "corrected" the reeds not being correct. I have 3 rolls of them.

Thanks Earle42. I'll differ to your skills at Counterfeit Detection. You've done a lot more homework than I. |
