numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11912 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 4:56 pm Au58 sharpness but it looks details cleaned. Nice coin which met an misguided prior owner. Edited by numismatic student 05/14/2018 4:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 7:20 pm Earle can you elaborate on why you think this half is fake? What your arrow is pointing at is unclear. The second set of images are slightly rotated. When I copied the obverse one and oriented normally, I see nothing wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 7:24 pm AU Details and looks to be WB-104, WB-8 variety. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 7:52 pm Definitely different design details, hair different as well. Need some good detailed die information for all other varieties, to judge fake or not. From pictures alone, looks OK. AU55 cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 7:54 pm I am looking at the shape of the head and the very large eye on the half on the left. I guess I will do an overlay and post it. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 7:58 pm Point well taken, the eye does look somewhat different in the comparative pics. Report this Post to the Staff
Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 8:37 pm Keep in mind the 2x2 plastic might be distorting the details. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10047 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 8:48 pm Unfortunately the only pic of an authenticated one was smaller than the OPs pic. I had to zoom on both anyway to make the following graphic. Note the white is not emphasized for any reason - its just how the program I was using made it. I noted the shoulder strap on the OP's coin is a lot wider than the one on a legit one, but the pic got lost in cyberspace! Zoom recommended.
