Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2308316, member: 36230"]With the full understanding that you're in a much better position to examine the "coin", the "surface bumps" are clearly not anomalies caused by your dyno lite, but are, unfortunately, on the "coin" itself. There is simply far too much wrong with it to have even the remotest chance of being genuine. If you still doubt what you're being told, please look up, in particular, the reverse diagnostics and compare for yourself. Only one reverse die was used for business strikes, and all show a characteristic not present on your "example", which is weakness, particularly on the lower N in ONE, but also the upper left of the N in CENT. It certainly is not a circulated proof, so hopefully this added to all the other evidence already presented, will help convince you. I obviously have no idea of how you acquired the "coin", but if purchased as a genuine example, you would be wise to do whatever is necessary to try to get your money back as soon as possible. Otherwise, and if you've no real investment into it, chalk it up to a learning experience. Either way, I do wish things had turned out better for you, and welcome to the forum.[/QUOTE]
