<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3162447, member: 78244&quot;]This coin popped up on eBay. I initially thought it was fake, but closer inspection showed that it was a genuine 1818 B-10 quarter in VF condition. The Chinese struck fakes were made using an 1818 B-10 in VF condition. There was only one other bidder, so I guess most others thought it was counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p>The differences can be seen upon comparison. Notice how the edges of the devices are fuzzy, the surfaces are rough, and there are pimples everywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]812148[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]812149[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Also diagnostic is the egde. The edge on the genuine coins is “notched”, while the fakes are “reeded”&nbsp; indicative of being struck in a collar. I could see this notching in the seller’s picture, further alluding to its authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]812151[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
