<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 1721793, member: 16994&quot;]There are just some things that the fakers can&#039;t or don&#039;t do. I feel like a lot of people give them too much credit. The orange peel surfaces that these coins exhibit in 1916 and 1917 is something I have never seen replicated on the thousands of Chinese counterfeits I have examined. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even from the washed out pictures you can clearly see that this coin does exhibit the surfaces one would expect from this date. So unless the counterfeiters have started taking into account the differences in surfaces from year to year in a series... I&#039;ll stick with a confident &quot;genuine but impaired&quot; assessment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
