There are currently 650,000 US coins listed on ebay; they can't check them all. All they can do is react to reported listings, and they've been getting steadily worse at that over the last few months. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 12:20 am I know in this case it isn't isn't necessary, but it's fun to see a comparison. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 12:54 am Thanks for the picture comparison. My guess is that it was scanned, and a die cut from the model stored in memory. Some hand finishing of the die is required, and I think it is in this area that the minor die differences vis a vis genuine, are normally detected. A blink comparison microscope makes this task dead easy. We have the low tech pictures to compare side by side for ourselves right here, thanks to DVCollector. I will leave it to others to have some fun picking the differences. Report this Post to the Staff
