[QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 687307, member: 9308"]Thanks guys for the Kudos This is an example of a not so intricate Chinese ( guess) fake.......... I have bought every fake available for referance and have several fakes from different manufacturers of this date that still currently sell on Ebay. The trick these days is to tumble ( any firearm reloader will have this equiptment ) , burnish, retone and make " good " on an obvious fake coin. Circs are less obvious than a gem red. In this one particular instance, we have documented diagnosis on the mintmark punch....ONE punch was used on 4 dies.....thats it, period, nothing else. You can do some google searching and learn these looks.....This mintmark is not genuine. What happened last year was a seller from China was selling SVDB !!! ROLLS !!! of fakes ( other dates as well ) ....now is the trickle down of that large 1 week sale Aim yourself with knowledge, if you are not sure, buy a book instead..... Raw keydates are only for pros..........[/QUOTE]
