The only way that is not a part of the original design - and theoretically the TPG's should know what the original design looks like - is if you...
Well, the "die marker" mentioned regarding the 1 is clearly different on your coin - neither 1 is in the same place relative to a denticle as on...
Like I said. :)

Fake. Last two digits are a dead giveaway. Look at the mint mark detail image posted, as well - it's not remotely close. .
I'm not saying I'm sure there's anything shady going on, just that it's an odd pattern. Anyone with >20k Feedback has too large a business...
Any new seller offering deceptive crap like this puts me into Research Mode. I'm rather bothered that there's a bidder with well over 20,000...
I think they're part of the design. Check out a few other examples.
It's what I get for being a quick typist. :) For the record: Go ahead and spend the $15 on a light box. That's a cheap education, and they're of...

"Hairline scratches" are something which happens to the coin after it's minted. Any lines appearing on the die itself, and then struck into the...
The "correct" lighting has nothing to do with its' color temperature. Incorrect white balance should be able to be corrected before the shot is...
There's no guarantee of that. This is the same seller who's offering a polished 1925 Peace Dollar as a "Proof." :)
Why does it matter to you anyway? Correcting for white balance is Photography 101, and standard procedure. It doesn't matter what color lighting...
I can't honestly say I have any clue what you're talking about here.
