<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 2615903, member: 34720&quot;]Very interesting indeed. I hope that you don&#039;t become offended by some of the negativity you may pick up on from some of the forum people.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin comes up quite often on this forum, and others. To date, every single one that has been displayed has been a forgery of some kind (plated, modified 48&#039;, etc...). I think in general people have become highly suspicious of this coin, along with other key dates, mules, etc... And don&#039;t even get me started on the whole Chinese fakes market... Blech.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am but a wheat novice, but the date and details looks good in my eyes. I think the other posters questioning the surface may be onto something. It does appear worn in high points, but grainy in the open fields. </p><p><br /></p><p>Out of curiosity... How on earth could such a rare coin end up having wear on it? Seems strange to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, no amount of online coin forums will ever provide you with an answer that you seek. You&#039;ve obviously spent time examining the coin and have picked up on nothing. No one on this forum has stated what is wrong with this coin either (lots of gut feelings, but no actual diagnostic references yet).</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the only answer is to honestly get it to a professional service who can verify this. If it is verified as genuine... The sky&#039;s the limit on its value!</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish you good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
