seeing that the only two markers for this are a mark near the "T" in Trust and the size and position of the mint mark I can see how this could even fool the pro's. thanks for sharing this Bill but I still hate you.

I have an 1872S half but I am having difficulty comparing the example in this thread with mine. Can anyone tell if mine has the markings of the counterfeit?

Well your coin's reverse looks different than the one with the counterfeit markers. That said, all I can say is that yours is not that counterfeit.

Nice looking coin.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Worldnumis, From what I can see it is an EDS WB-101, WB-2. It is NOT a counterfeit.
