Go-Rebels Pillar of the Community 681 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 8:23 pm This is the far right mm position but it is too high. This coin is a counterfeit. In this mm position the left, bottom serif is sometimes found "blobby". Can't tell for sure with this pic but, regardless, the position is wrong. The very weak VDB is sometimes found on genuine coins. It is a diagnostic that cannot be used to determine if a coin is genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 02/11/2016 08:20 am I have seen the shape of this counterfeit mint mark more than a few times. Here is another example from my archives. Quote: The very weak VDB is sometimes found on genuine coins. It is a diagnostic that cannot be used to determine if a coin is genuine. I do not blame a weak VDB for my thoughts on this coin. ebay's coin policy prohibits coins that are out of focus, and I believe this applies in this case, as far as the reverse is concerned. Oh, and GONE.
