Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 9:45 pm Just making sure these all look legit? I know they're fairly common but extra reassurance means more knowledge on the subject. I see the Blakesley effect, which kind of helps authenticate them, but I'm not sure about how people fake that type of thing.. Report this Post to the Staff

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 01/19/2016 10:30 pm All look good to me....but circulated and not tough dates. Somewhere around $1 to $3 each kind of things I would say. Report this Post to the Staff
M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 12:39 am I'd be taking a serious look at the 68, the return of the rim going into the fields the angle is totally off and the blakesly effect just dosen't look right. I would call that one faked and the other 2 legit. IMO. Nice clips. If you look close at the clip on the obverse you can see the small pieces of beads on the clip are out of position in the circle of the other beads. Clip is part of the blank planchet, so why are there small pieces of them on the clip after minting. Edited by M_d_in_guy 01/20/2016 01:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10459 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 09:18 am All are legit - amazing how some of these managed to circulate for some time...

XWLCoins Valued Member Canada 320 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 10:31 am The 68 does seem to have an irregular crescent but the way the beads fade out says its legit to me :) Not sure why the 68 doesn't have a smooth curve tho... Can someone explain that? Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 10:38 am I am thinking it is an optical illusion on the reverse side or maybe circulation damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 10:41 am All the clipped cents look good to me. There might be some coin-counter damage on the rim of the 68 - just a guess. The clip looks pretty smooth when viewed from the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 01/20/2016 11:25 am My apology on my earlier post, still learning here. My opinion was wrong on the 68 lol. Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
