coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 09:50 am Based on the inferior pics, can you tell if this might be fake in any way? I am considering purchasing it, and it has a return policy. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 10:02 am I don't see any obvious problems. This is a common date and pretty heavily circulated, so I don't expect it is likely to be a counterfeit. Is the seller providing any assurance it is genuine? If so, and if both the price and return policy seem attractive a purchase is probably safe enough. Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 10:47 am Yeah, totally. From the photos what would you say, F-15 or VF-20, or lower? Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 10:33 pm Do you think there is any graffiti near star 4 on the left of the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 02:01 am I'd say VF-20. Still a fair amount of meat on it. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 02:33 am I don't think that's graffiti around star 4 and I do think it's genuine but I wouldn't pay over VG money for it. Eye appeal is low (unless it's the photos) and either wear or a light strike or both put this coin at VF20 tops. If you can get it for under $300 it's probably worth it.

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 03:22 am I didn't buy it, FYI. Was too worried about the graffiti. Went for $215. Maybe I should have thrown in a bid. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 3:36 pm Based on the pics and today's market, $215 was a fair price. A year ago that same coin would likely have gone $315 but the eye appeal/graffiti/demand today really hurt that one. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
