<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 3307333, member: 7638"]I don't think there was much question as to whether the coin is genuine, it's whether it has been fiddled with. And I don't think the images allow for an accurate assessment on that point. Die characteristics are helpful to an extent, but remember that counterfeits are most commonly made from transfer dies produced from genuine coins. So the key is making sure the obv/rev dies are paired correctly. </p><p>I hope the buyer of this coin was able to pick up a nice high AU coin that will straight grade. But I'm not holding my breath.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
