Hi all, I was wondering what you think about this coin, also with regards to authenticity. Thanks in advance!   |

Color seem a bit odd - is it accurate? Can you give us a sharper pic of the obverse?

Yeah that's a fake one from the no no site. If you look closely you can see a protrusion from the bust like in this pic of a fake...  Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

The "dot" below the neck (above the 9) as 52Raymo points out - is a good indicator of this particular counterfeit.

Do you have a photo of the reverse of this piece? I'd like to add it to my "rogues gallery." |

Although I see the nub at the bottom of the bust, the subject coin's obverse looks a lot sharper that the known fake. They look like they were produced using different methods.  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."
