jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 03/23/2013 8:20 pm Hello Fisher904 May I invite you over to the World Coin section of this forum where forum members Swamperbob and ColonialJohn have been teaching an ongoing college level class in Counterfeit Detection. I was doing yard work all day and only saw this post just now but as Condor101 already posted, the edge was a dead giveaway for the fake. (Swamperbob's mantra ... always look at the third side, the edge) I would also be curious about the price the "coin shop" charged, it could be an indication that they knew it was fake so made it "too good a deal to pass up".

fisher904 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 2:38 pm The price was 125.00 only because the color was a little off. I did get my money back with no problem. This is the 1st time that I know of that one of these got by me. Some are pretty good. Thanks again for all your help. Report this Post to the Staff
