<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1931668, member: 26302&quot;]On a serious note, to anyone ever wondering if their flea market, garage sale, junk box find is real, (and it can happen, it&#039;s just rare):</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Weigh it. It should weigh almost exactly it&#039;s minted weight. You can find this on the internet.</p><p>2. Look at the style. It should look JUST like pics of real examples, not &quot;kinda sorta&quot;.</p><p>3. Check edges. If the coin was supposed to have lettered edges and yours is reeded, it&#039;s fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those three things, in that order, eliminate most fakes. I am not posting this to pick on you op, yours was a far question, I am just posting to help anyone wondering if a coin they find or buy cheaply might be worth thousands. Once you get more knowledgeable many times number 2 answers it without having to weigh, but that takes some in depth coin knowledge, something we understand most people do not have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
