coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/19/2019 1:40 pm So far no one has answered the question about the Liberty area : Quote: coop's question: How can you tell it is a fake? Note the word LIBERTY on the coin on the left and compare it with the right coin on Bobby's coin. Do you see the differences of the spread? I'm still holding out for the answer. Then I will post it if no ones spots the differences. Report this Post to the Staff

On the real one, it wouldn't be as strong of a separation as the fake. Also, on the fake coin the coat of Lincoln is not doubled and the eye and hair is not doubled as well. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 10/19/2019 2:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/22/2019 3:36 pm Okay, I'll spill the beans. Note the doubling. The fake one is rotated differently. The real DDO is above on the the 'TY' and below on the 'LIB' because the rotation of the class 1 doubled die. The fake does not below the 'LIB' area.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/23/2019 2:36 pm To explain a little differently, on the doubled die image you see two images with one being stronger than the other. The stronger image on the genuine is lower or below the weaker under image, on the counterfeit the stronger image is higher than the weaker one. This shows on all the letters of LIBERTY but is most noticeable on the T. Report this Post to the Staff
