    I never said it was. I was just relating a common story told to coin buyers
    at flea markets.

    I can't believe we have gotten this far into the thread and no one has mentioned that the obv die is from the hub of 1886 with the last feather pointing between the CA of AMERICA. instead of the correct hub where it points between the IC.

    Dang, totally missed that. And that's one characteristic even I might have noticed, were I paying full attention.

    This one is so silly looking, I didn't even need to go that far. Did you see the close ups I posted?

    Yes but by the time I got that far I knew it was fake. As soon as the first picture started loading the eye struck me as wrong and then I saw the last feather and take's all she wrote. I knew it was fake before I scrolled past the first image.
