<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 1628922, member: 15518&quot;]Unless a fake is crudely manufactured, it&#039;s often difficult to tell if a coin is authentic from photos alone. Few, if any, modern forgeries are cast. Most are die struck and artificially aged, sometimes with dramatic effect... making it a &quot;less than easy&quot; task to determine authenticity, even with the coin in hand. As far as the OP&#039;s coin is concerned, it bears little resemblance to the fake &#039;09&#039;S IHC&#039;s I&#039;ve seen. So I&#039;m leaning towards genuine; but unless the current owner sends it off for grading, we probably will never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
