recollector Valued Member Canada 191 Posts	Posted 06/09/2024 04:12 am i see this on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/235591147612 but I'm wondering how do you know its a specimen dollar? what specific things to look for compared to a pl dollar? (besides a mirror finish, which I can't really see in the photos anyway. and finally, is there a specific box for the 1949 specimen dollar? Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 06/09/2024 10:56 pm Not a specimen..1949s came very well produced and can trick you at first glance, but when compared to a real specimen they don't hold up one bit. Take a look at the PCGS plate coins, the SP67+ and SP67 shown there are legitimate quality specimen strikes with incredibly high point details and much fuller rim strikes. Feel free to call me Will.

recollector Valued Member Canada 191 Posts	Posted 06/10/2024 08:44 am how about some specific things to look for with photos so people can not be fooled, since even professonals are getting fooled it seems. Report this Post to the Staff
