The slab is not fake . . . The coin is on the PCGS website.
I emailed John about this a few weeks ago, but haven't heard anything back. I expected to see him Sunday at Nashua, but he wasn't there.
This coin was minted in New Orleans, not inPhiladelphia, and looks real to me.
I've got no information at all regarding provenance.
Okay, I've been hunting high and low for well over 6 months to find a second example of the rare FS-901 DDR 1899 Barber Quarter . . . and I mean...
I know absolutely nothing about ancient and foreign coins LM, but you sure make it fun to look . . . big thanks.
I fit squarely in the AT crowd . . .

Run Forest, run . . . at ludicrous speed.
