<p>[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 369362, member: 11521"]I have been hesitant to mention this - and I am NOT saying I think this coin is counterfeit - but the marks on the Indian's neck concern me. Tool marks on the back of the Indian's neck are one of the most common indicators of counterfeit $2 1/2 and $5 Indians because this is the lowest point on the coin and correspondingly the highest point on the obverse die. Counterfeiters often try to clean up this spot on their die and leave a few "tool marks" which appear as raised lines on the coin. </p><p> </p><p>Can you take a close look at these marks and determine if they are raised?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
