There have been articles published in the coin mags and on-line. The fake ones do not have the stacking ridges on the corners is one identifier....
Ahhhh - now I understand.
OK, I'm confused. What exactly do you mean by - the coin is struck by dies ? Of course it is, you can't have a die cap error otherwise.

OK - so just how big was that file at 100% Precisely as I have instructed in numerous other threads since Peter did the last software upgrade.

I'd make that a month.
Yes they did. I have seen the ads in the coin mags where they are selling them - for not much more than bullion. If somebody paid $4500 for one as...
Can you post a picture of this coin ?
If it grades 65 or over, I'll be even more surprised and more disappointed ;)
