John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/16/2019 07:31 am I think it is a matter of circulation wear. Post a pic or two of the ones you think might be a good candidate for being fake. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/16/2019 09:49 am Diameters are fine, weights on the barbers are a little low, but the spec and tolerance weights are for new coins and at the grades listed yours are heavily worn. They probably are not unreasonable. Report this Post to the Staff
