CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 09:37 am First off, this coin doesn't even LOOK like a VDB to me. The mintmark doesn't match any of the ones I find, yet alone the placement. 291673177873 Report this Post to the Staff

LocalCoinGuy Valued Member United States 398 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 10:15 am Somehow these guys make the even the ugliest coin look good with their camera work ..... The VDB is almost non-existent, if even there ..... Poor example, if real and to be Choice AU, really? They do however Guarantee Coin is Authentic .... And certainly this is not their first rodeo .... Go figure! Edited by LocalCoinGuy 01/30/2016 10:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

LocalCoinGuy Valued Member United States 398 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 2:24 pm Seller's MM Tail is smooth ... Real has Serif Type Tail at the Bottom ..... Seller's is more akin to Sans-Serif Type or just a Plain End .... Good pics but still hard to say without in hand! Report this Post to the Staff
turingmach Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 3:21 pm LocalCoinGuy, I think what you're seeing (or not seeing) may be due to lighting in the photo. Here's the seller's date with shadows lightened, highlights darkened, midrtone contrast reduced: When I overlay the seller's date onto the genuine one, the mint mark location is exact.
