robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 04/23/2014 1:51 pm DVcollector - that's right, especially given the very slight MAD the coin appears to have. Do I see a 'broken E' in STATES? If so, I say that this coin is real. Report this Post to the Staff

DV-wouldn't that affect the top of the letters as well as the bases. I just have never seen it on any other IHC. I'm not arguing with you, just asking. Report this Post to the Staff

I think it would be less because the direction of metal flow is from the center to the rims. In other words, metal is flowing away from the bases of legends and towards the tops of legends, producing a better strike there. But I'm not an expert on strike errors...I'm just paraphrasing something I read. Quote: Do I see a 'broken E' in STATES? If so, I say that this coin is real. Good spot--yeah, that matches the broken "ES" listed for this year in my Snow guides. Edited by DVCollector 04/23/2014 2:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/23/2014 6:36 pm Your all being to nasty to the counterfeiter that spent a lot of time making that 09S. Should give him a little credit for trying. And remember he will get better with time. Time possibly spent in a jail. Report this Post to the Staff

On all IHC I have ever seen the bases of the letters are basically flat.
