<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mstng02gt, post: 675606, member: 15174&quot;]Anyone know any good ways to spot a fake 1885 v nickel? I just bought one and a very low price. The coin has had a harsh cleaning and prous, but despite the problems I got it for a low price of only $100 from a reputible dealer I have done business with in the past. which I still find to be a good deal. I was wondering if anyone knows any good ways to determine authenticity. Its weight of 4.3 grams seems consistant with the extensive wear on it. The fonts appear correct thoughout the coin under the 10x. The fact that it was cleaned gives credibility to the fact that its more likely genuine. Also a magnet had no effect on the coin. Another other ways I may have missed? Here is a pic of the coin for those of you to take a look at. Any opinions from those that know better then me are welcome. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i31.tinypic.com/2aev9kh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
