<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 453559, member: 4381&quot;]The reverse of the coin is fairly evenly worn 360 degrees around the coin where obverse is much less worn in the lower right quadrant of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the coin from Ebay also shows a similar ware pattern on the obverse.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t lok at the reverse, but not nearly so extreme.&nbsp;&nbsp; How many times do you need to touch a coin to develop ware?&nbsp; A hell of a&nbsp; lot (the would be a good experiment actually).&nbsp; And for it to be that uneven needs, IMO, an explanation, especially since the reverse doesn&#039;t suffer this ware pattern to the same degree.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will note in the defense of the authenticity of the coin, that even the reverse shows some lessening of the ware pattern in the same area as where the bust area is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I&#039;m not saying this coin is counterfeit, because I&#039;m completely unqualified to make this statement.&nbsp; But after someone pointing this out to me, I wouldn&#039;t buy this coin for $300+ dollars without a good slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
