silverdollar2011 Valued Member United States 385 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 8:50 pm hey guys, I bought this ASE from the Pawn America after perfoming a series of tests (weigh test, smell test, magnet test) and it passed all. It weighs 31.32grams but notice how the rim starts to become smaller at the upper left. It seems sooo suspicious to me, what do you guys think? Please let me know. Thanks :) Edited by silverdollar2011 09/06/2012 9:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 9:02 pm Slightly off center it is.If the reverse is centered then it's a "Mad" Misaligned die.Normally no added value unless the devices or affected Report this Post to the Staff
SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 9:29 pm Aye, MAD not fake. The bullion issue ASEs (as opposed to the Proof or burnished-uncirculated issues) have MADs now and then. Report this Post to the Staff

colu41 Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 9:53 pm I got a 1971 D Lincoln Cent today. Must be fake because the rim of it looks just like your ASE Weight seems right. Looks legit to me. Just a bad strike Report this Post to the Staff
Silverhawk74 Pillar of the Community United States 3670 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 10:46 pm Machines even make mistakes like Sky net or in this case a an off center stamp, nothing more, .999 silver.... I learned a new term, MAD eh.... Report this Post to the Staff
kasey Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 11:46 pm Machines make mistakes. However the wieght is an issue. 2 tenths of a gram is outside mint tolerance for weight...could still be real at least its silver n not to much invested...hopefully its real and if thats the case its one of a kind...have to remeber anything the mint uses.. the couterfits have the same capabilities..this is why authentication is important Report this Post to the Staff
