<p>[QUOTE="ckachu16, post: 611064, member: 19019"]Thanks for all the replies. I agree with a lot of you, and I definately do not claim to be a expert in any way with coins, I really do try to do my homework before I buy one though. I have bought a good bit of coins from Ebay and other places, and this is honestly the first one that really is hard for me to decifer. I guess it might be because this is the only high relief in the set and I really have nothing to compare it to other than what I see and read from books and the internet. Everything seems legit, the only problem is that a lot of the counterfeit coins in this year look very convincing to me, at least online anyway. The only reason for my suspicion is one the luster of the coin. I guess, like many of you said, with al the strong details on this coin, it just looks funny having a dull luster like that. If it was cleaned that many times, wouldnt there be a shinier look to it? I am not very proficiant at telling if a coin has been cleaned, but I thought that there also is small lines that show up and this coin doesnt seem to have any. Is that not the case if it has been dipped? Also, I think someone else mentioned something about their coin lettering not lining up with other side of the coin, and the ironic thing is that that was the other thing that I just noticed about this coin. Does this mean anything. For instance, the letter E in LIBERTY on the top of the obverse side lines up with the letter E on the end of the word PEACE on the reverse. The other peace coins that I have seem to have the letter E in LIBERTY line up with the letter A in PEACE on the reverse. It is almost like one side is rotated a little bit. Does anyone know if this means anything? I only noticed it because I had all the coins in a album and all the obverse sides were lined up on one page, but when I looked at the reverse sides, the 1921 peace coin seemed to be rotated more to one side.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
