Some telltale signs of artificial treatment being done by chinese counterfeiters nowadays,</p><p><br /></p><p>I am also suspicious of a &quot;former PCGS grader&quot; saying something like &quot;80% chance&quot; of it being good. I have talked to these men, in fact have met the founders of both PCGS and NGC, and have never heard such things being said. In my experience, they either like the coin, or refuse to say. I have never heard them give percentage chances of it being real, but I am not saying they couldn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trade dollars have been faked a long time. Heck, I could get a decent fake back in the late 80&#039;s. My suspicion is this is a fake that might have been mixed in with morgans and then had smoke damage. People think fakes had to have been made last week. Fakes have been around as long as coins have been made.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its the internet Jerry. Don&#039;t let people get under your skin, and you will last longer around here. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
