Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 10:23 pm I too am suspicious. Also we need better pics, as they are quite unfocused and blurred. It's a coin flip essentially. But as others have mentioned, why isn't it slabbed, this is one of the major key dates in the Wheat cent series. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 11:03 pm Why should it be slabbed? If/when I get mine, it won't be. I would think focusing on how to verify it is real (something the TPGs will not yell you - its bad for their business to tell why they grade/assign what they do). It can even be fun looking into how to tell fakes and become better educated about them. After all, nowadays people in the hobby are starting to think TPG slabs need a green sticker on them to verify the TPGs did the job right - sadly, its what the hobby is coming to. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
