Don't know about that one.

Also doesn't look right. Color is off and the mintmark appears to be the commonly faked one.

Feels like the second is fake. The B in liberty is not well aligned with the rest of the letters and I think I can see bubbles of some sort on the reverse.

Quick question, what was the determining factor for the creation of this subforum? Reading some threads a while back it sounded likean impossibility a bunch of arguments backing it. I might have missed some threads since then.

The first one is a fake for sure - there are no left-slanting MMs among the four known dies.

Pics on the second one are not much to work with, but it could be Die #3.

I agree both are fake. The vdb is wrong on both of them, especially the second.

He also has two negative feedbacks for counterfeit coins (a 1917 quarter and 1893-S Morgan) within the last 12 months.
