SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 01/04/2010 2:54 pm Looks genuine. I'd feel more comfortable if it was in a PCGS slab. Here are three examples in slabs (cent planchet, nickel planchet and SBA planchet) http://www.fredweinberg.com/invento....php?ID=5921 http://www.fredweinberg.com/invento....php?ID=5922 http://www.fredweinberg.com/invento....php?ID=5495 Seems they'll strike a Kennedy on anything.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/04/2010 3:17 pm Weakness in strike, especially beneath the date...not perfectly round in shape....edges aren't sharp... It's real. Report this Post to the Staff

It does appear to be genuine though. Quote: Seems they'll strike a Kennedy on anything It is the only business strike coin with a collar that will accommodate any other business strike planchet but even then, a quarter planchet is probably the only one that is not ultra-rare since it is closest in size to a half dollar.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 3:08 pm The metal flow in the design elements bordering the edge is also an indicator of authenticity. It's real. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
