Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/09/2009 1:44 pm First thing I notice is the font of the digits in the date. 8 is too tall, peak of the 1 too high, cross bar of the 4 is too low and too close to the foot serifs of the 4. Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 07/09/2009 2:02 pm This one you can tell from a glance. My first look on Seated and Trade dollars is always to the denticles. Note the genuine example on the bottom ... they are squared, uniform, and full. Now see the circled areas on the counterfeit at the top. Some are missing, all are rounded, and some have blobs of metal between them. All other diagnostics aside, look here first. Report this Post to the Staff
