Many of the counterfeits have a thin cut line here. </p><p><br /></p><p>The bowtie looked tripled rather than doubled.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last 5 appeared to have too tight of a curl in the lower loop.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ear hole appeared too large.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the new photos things look a bit different. </p><p><br /></p><p>The areas of the O &amp; D now appear behind the main design as they should.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s hard to see but the space between the WE appears it may be slightly wider at the bottom as it should be.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bowtie appears doubled rather than tripled.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 5 appears like it might be PMD and lighting that made the curl appear too tight.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ear hole still appears kinda funky but may be grease fill or some other problem.&nbsp; Better photos would be needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the other details still look off but could easily be the photo quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>The marks on the reverse may have been something on the coin that fell off or was brushed off by PCGS and lighting &amp; poor photos made it look like part of the coin.&nbsp; The OP confirmed it was on the coin.</p><p>The marks on the reverse would have nothing to do with authenticity they only raised questions confirming it is the same coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am only trying to help the OP understand how bad photos can make things appear wrong and that is what I was seeing and maybe what others were seeing.</p><p>If you give us photos that make it appear to have problems we are going to say it&#039;s a problem coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>At this point I am leaning more &amp; more to the genuine side and that I was wrong about the authenticity.&nbsp; Better photos and a better attitude would be appreciated from the OP.&nbsp; You have to help us to help you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Still not sure how it made it through with the green stuff on it but congrats. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1467314[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
