    Tough call if a fake it's a good one are the lines behind her head raised like die breaks? If so it's likely a fake or they just marks from the abrasive cleaning it's had

    it is raw. 75% chance of a fake or more.

    Hmm - honestly I can't tell. I did find one on heritage with a die crack that looks the same from the R in dollar to America. But I have not see one cracked thru the 420. Really - I can't tell - but going to swag real.

    Would it be possible to post larger photos?

    There are a few things that bother me... obv. dentils don't look right in several areas. Strange surface to the left of the date. There are some "soft" looking dimples in the right obv. field that might be the result of a transfer die. The rims in places look too wide. I think it looks suspicious and would love to have a closer look at it. especially the edges.

    Thought I had a larger image. Didn't work.

    Thanks for checking though.

    There is a certain area in particular I was hoping to check against my notes, but this aside, I did try to match the marriage and at least thus far have been unable to do so. Common date with a larger mintage, so it is not as if this means a great deal. May I ask how long until you plan to reveal the results (one or all)?

    Was a tough call glad it was real the weights on these would make a difference on the call too
