    Looks real to me . But then at 1st glance they all looked good , the proof is in the placement of the MM and other known markers .

    Check out this site http://www.chopmarks.org/joomla/ they should be able to help identify the chop mark.

    Looks more like a bullet hole than a chop mark. I think the die cracks makes her look pretty much authentic.

    If it's a fake it would have fooled me.

    What about the other 30% ?
     
  11. Forced choice: it is real. I do not like the Pokemon shaped chop mark.

    I never noticed that. It does look like Pokemon. This brings up a second question.
    Is the chop mark real?

    3 with the same impaired surfaces are scaring me granted they all could've came from the same collection that cleaned everything without that I'd say 75% chance this and no 2 were legit I'd want to weigh them and see in hand too if these second 2 are fakes and they weigh right there scary good ones

    75/25% that it is real. Looks like positioning and everything else looks lined up. Struck for sure and not cast--if it is fake, it is an excellent one, as it would fool me from that picture. So, I'd go real. Although, nowadays they're even faking chop marks with antique stampers.

    I think this one is probably genuine, although some of the reverse dentils on the left give me pause, but you will see sections of weak dentils at times on trade dollars

    I am thinking real - again not 100% sure.
