[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 8427911, member: 90692"]I saw and was educated by [USER=93371]@Jack D. Young[/USER] and his recent shilling counterfeit post (Aug. 23, 2021), recent in that it was added to in the past week. This shilling is a few years earlier but I used the info from Jack's post to verify that it isn't counterfeit... [ATTACH=full]1494483[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1494484[/ATTACH] As you can see in the next pic, the eye and end hair curl correspond to the authentic characteristics: [ATTACH=full]1494486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1494487[/ATTACH] As well as the wreath leaves don't have a "spiky" look to them and the O/ONE is shaped right. [ATTACH=full]1494488[/ATTACH] I've included the date and the die number pic as well as the horizontal double arrow which both look kosher as well. [ATTACH=full]1494489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1494490[/ATTACH] This was bought for $60 by my brother before he passed away but I have no idea what year he bought it. I have assigned a grade of XF40 but I am open to lower assessments; at XF40 the coin would have appreciated to around $100 per current NGC World Coin Guide. Does anyone know of any other special attribute I need to look for? Hope everyone enjoys the post...Spark[/QUOTE]
