<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 481866, member: 1242&quot;]Sparrow,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have checked this coin at 200X zoom and I am 99.99% certain that it is not a Cast fake! There is no evidence whasoever of any porousity, bumps or imperfections on the surfaces of the fields or details. The lines and edges on Miss Liberty, the Date, the Eagle, the arrows, the Wreath and all of the Lettering have sharp and crisp edges. This would not be true with a Cast fake as the details and lettering would not have sharp and crisp edges and would flow into the fields instead of abruptly terminating in the fields. It is possible that it could be a struck counterfeit and although I could be wrong, I doubt that is the case! As for the rim damage appearing as repairs where the compostion was poured into a mold, then my previous observation dispells that myth and I believe that these damaged areas on the rim are nothing more than damage from being dropped somewhat sideways onto a rough surface such as a brushed concrete slab or a rocked surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have edited and cropped 4 of the pictures and have attached them to this posting. I hope that they better show the surfaces, hairlines and edges on the details, lettering and in the fields.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
