<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 131751, member: 4626&quot;]Would help to have more than just the one coin to go on, would like to see other years&#039; pictures to compare to... I&#039;ve seen genuine halves of this type differ from the picture on Coin Facts slightly too.&nbsp; Not sure about the lips, but I&#039;ve seen ones where the stars compare fairly normally to this one.&nbsp; Have checked the coin and doesn&#039;t seem to have any of the obvious signs of being fake, such as being cast.&nbsp; If it is a fake it&#039;s a pretty good one.&nbsp; Not sure about the lips... could just be the scan, or damage or wear, do notice the coin seems to be dented on the edge and shows scratching on the reverse.&nbsp; The lips do look similar to what dimes and quarters have; if they&#039;re significantly different than the lips on halves I&#039;m missing something subtle from pictures I can find.&nbsp; Something looks weird about the edge though.&nbsp; Anyone have an example of what the edge should look like?&nbsp; Then again the edge could be perfectly normal for all I know; don&#039;t have anything to compare it to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at the actual coin and the scan it seems the scan is distorting the shape of the lips somehow... I can see the difference from the Coin Facts picture to this scan but can&#039;t see the same difference on the actual coin.&nbsp; Not sure what would cause that (that&#039;s more a scanner question than a coin one, lol).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else have their thoughts?&nbsp; I make take this coin to a different dealer to get a second opinion.&nbsp; The missing &quot;H&quot; on the edge seems weird, as does the letter spacing, but I have no idea what is considered normal or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
