westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7625 Posts	Posted 02/19/2015 3:41 pm Too hard to tell authenticity from those pics. The rims on both have taken a beating, too. Suggest you weigh 'em and then conduct comparative ring tone tests with known good coins. That should give you an idea. You can also send 'em off to ANACS for grading and authentication.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/19/2015 6:09 pm I see nothing really alarming except the very bottom of the reverse of the Philadelphia coin - looks like a die crack or lamination and either are unexpected there. The beating they've taken in circulation counts in their favor to me. Report this Post to the Staff
