<p>[QUOTE="kookoox10, post: 1253739, member: 31129"]Since most fakes were produced from molded casts as opposed to dies, you have a better vantage point if the devices are dull or missing sharp details. And cast impressions on the edge. Based on what I see, maybe it was cleaned/whizzed. The obverse hairlines and the dark toning in the tightest spots (letters, date and rim) would indicate a cleaning. Ebay doesn't necessarily mean you get burned, I've personally been hit more with cleaned coins than fakes. Good luck in your investigative work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
