BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4591 Posts	Posted 06/11/2014 12:55 am Here is a genuine one from numista: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces23359.html Let's see... The 9s are wrong (note the genuine ones curl up just before touching the stem) The bosom fabric drape is wrong The stars are crowded in the fake and touch the dentils. The 3rd star from the top left is missing it's leftmost point. The dentils aren't even and are too shallow. The font of LIBERTY is wrong (note the genuine have little indents at the bottom of the I,B, etc.) The genuine Ms. Liberty broke her nose as a little girl. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

They are a result of insufficient striking pressure and incomplete filling of the letters. On a properly struck coin those indents are not present and base of the letters is flat.
