<p>[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1620726, member: 41863"]You werent the only one who has said that, when I first brought it to my coin dealer he said that sometimes counterfeiters would mutilate the main portion of the coin to take focus away from the altered area. Having said that though, he said there werent any signs of a mint mark being removed. That was after he looked under a loupe. Now keep in mind that doesnt guarantee the mark wasnt removed, a good coin doctor couldve concealed it well enough to pass it off, but his professional opinion as a reputable coin dealer was that the coin was genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if you are using google chrome, when you click on the picture it opens a window to gophoto and an option to view the original which allows a closer zoom. After doing that, I didnt really see anything in the picture where a MM wouldve been altered, but thats just me. Try and see if you can get it to zoom in that close for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
