chxray1 New Member Israel 2 Posts	Posted 11/26/2010 2:11 pm Anything bad in it isn't present. And what, if not the secret, defines a forgery in the first coin? The American coins - not my specialization. I have bought them from the bedouin for 10 dollars, all 3. Has received the pleasure sea in search of their history.)

(The chances of a real US coin being sold there and for that price is infinitesimally small). They all are fake (as you probably suspected). And not good ones. But to the Forum! Don't let this bad first experience be the last time we see you! Report this Post to the Staff

The top one, though, has fairly accurate details. It is far too soft-looking to be genuine. The details are not nearly raised from the surface of the coin enough. The lettering (especially the obverse) is way too weak. The denticles are also far too small and weak for this type of coin. Report this Post to the Staff
