nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 06:43 am By all means! I am confident that it is a forgery, but it will be nice to have that validated. I used photo editing to overlay the subject coin with the four known genuine mint mark positions, and it matched none of them. Additionally, three of the four genuine dies, the mint mark is slanted, and only one is it upright. This mint mark is upright. The one genuine upright mint mark position is farther from the date and closer to the rim (to the right).

It took me a minute to recognize it, and about 1/2 hour to record it, analyze it and confirm it.
