nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15543 Posts	Posted 08/06/2018 7:30 pm to the CCF I have no expertise in this series ... simply a lot of coin experience which guides my comments - as follows: I question the authenticity of the coin - there is no reasonable explanation that I know of for the reverse raised object the extends from the Eagle beak and upwards. The XF or so apparent circulated surfaces are well known in other series as a 'mask' to hide the fake details. Sorry - my view is not authentic - an expert on the series could change my mind. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Singer Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 08/06/2018 7:52 pm My apologies. I thought OP asked about a 22S. Report this Post to the Staff
Lizzydog New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/06/2018 8:17 pm The mark on the reverse is incuse, not raised. It looks as though something the size of a dull pencil point was dragged across it under high pressure. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36883 Posts	Posted 08/06/2018 8:18 pm The reverse mark looks like a gouge and not raised. Only a photo shot at an angle could confirm that. The coin shows circulation and with the damage makes this nothing more than a melt value bullion coin. Sharper close up photos needed to confirm if the coin is fake or authentic.

scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 08/06/2018 8:23 pm Lizzy can you give the diameter and weight of your item? Report this Post to the Staff
Lizzydog New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/06/2018 8:40 pm The diameter of the coin is 1 5/16" (no metric ruler in the house.) Sorry, I don't have anything precise enough in the house to weight it accurately. This is part of an inherited coin collection - don't really know anything about its origins. Hopefully these additional pictures help. Report this Post to the Staff
