DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/20/2011 2:05 pm Quote: Look closely at the shape of the insides of the two loops. They do not match the shape of the inside of the loops of the genuine pieces. Now I see that--especially the top loop; it's far too closed Quote: if they made an embossed mintmark from there the reverse must have a heck of a rotation Honestly, I was baffled by that, but did not consider the electrode process. Collectors owe it to experts who help them spot these fakes. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 01/20/2011 2:49 pm That is a fantastic fake MM. If the counterfeiter would have placed it a little higher up, he may have gotten away with it. I'm sure it fooled many people before Rick Snow and PCGS saw it. I also believe the rim metal was used for that purpose. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

SilverFossil64 Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 01/25/2011 10:20 pm Wow. I don't see how the average collector would ever have spotted that as a fake. Would make me worried about buying any high value coins without getting some extra opinions first...I guess that's one of the reasons slabbed coins from reputable TPG often fetch premiums...
