    I don't think it would be advisable to publish the reasons. It would just make it easier for the counterfeiter to make corrections on the next batch.

    Let us know what he says. I hope he tells you to send the coin to him. He'd be able to tell you why the coin is counterfeit........or maybe he'd tell you it was real. A lot of the locals kept these coins as pocket pieces.......

    Funny how that NGC label says "not genuine", yet 2 lines below it says "guaranteed authentic only"...

    No fakes? Get serious. They fake EVERYTHING these days.

    Only 4 at NGC I wonder how many at PCGS. It must be a lowball and worth at least $45.00 LOL
    The 1917 was the biggest disappointment, I was so sure

    I had to send a ddo trade dollar in to NYC twice for attribution, still came back unattributed, though the second time, if you looked the coin up on their system it fave it the fs#, but nothing on the holder. I had to personally hand the coin to the head error guy for NGC, showed him the points in person and they fixed it for me on the third go. All that being said, if you are certain the 1917 is a variety, they could have just missed it.

    The reason it was counterfeited was because it is common. So easy to pass because who is going to give it a second glance. The crook has a dollar in it and might sell them all day long for fifty. It's not one I would have sent in for grading.

    Just received an email from Anthony Swiatek
    Here's his reply
    "THE SURFACE ON THESE COINS WILL FLAUNT RAISED LUMPS OF METAL AND DEPRESSIONS IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS.
    THE WEAK STRIKE AND COLOR IS ALSO A RED FLAG"
    I would have never caught the color as I don't do well with colors.
