GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 9:43 pm wow .. 14 looks and no one has jumped in with a grade or say ... hey .. that is a fake coin .... Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 9:59 pm Not genuine- the peripheral devices are incredibly strong in relation to the mushy center, some of the reverse rays are broken, and some of the crown rays are missing. The reeding looks funky the way it rides up on the rim, possibly applied after the "coin" was struck. I would love to find a genuine Peace dollar with peripheral devices that strong but they simply were not designed that way. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 10:12 pm Thanks for jumping in biokemist6. This came in to my local shop yesterday. When the owner was told that this coin was fake, he ended up just leaving it there. They let me play with it. I have been showing it around, less than half new it was a fake coin. It is also light at 24g. I thought it would be a good coin to show CCF members a example of a fake coin Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/05/2011 10:57 pm At first, I focused on the date thinking it was a 1923 altered to 1928. Then I realized I was missing the forest for the trees For educational purposes, I took the effort of describing the major detail problems. I could have just typed FAKE! but that would not really help anyone learn counterfeit detection Edited by biokemist6 05/05/2011 10:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 05/06/2011 1:05 pm Other than the number "8" I would have been calling this a cleaned coin. Comparing it to a genuine coin the difference becomes obvious (in the 8) I don't have the discerning eye of biokemist though Thanks for the lesson Report this Post to the Staff
drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 05/06/2011 1:40 pm I saw the reeding difference too, but until I compared it to a real one, it was hard to put a finger on it. Good eye, biokemist. And thanks for the lesson GoldRush58! Report this Post to the Staff
