[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 3952441, member: 93371"]The 1818 B-10 capped bust quarter is another of the varieties picked by the counterfeiters to spawn a family of fakes. The 1st image is of a genuine example courtesy PCGS; the die scratch from the 2nd star aids in identifying this obverse. [ATTACH=full]1041353[/ATTACH] The next images are of a genuine example and a Chinese counterfeit (guess which one is which?); I highlighted some "dings" and marks on the reverse that are clues going forward (images courtesy [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/members/typecoin971793.78244/']TypeCoin971793[/URL])! [ATTACH=full]1041354[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1041355[/ATTACH] From there the counterfeiters made an accurate die and created another "family of fakes" adding different dates to the obverse dies (and some matching reverse marks). [ATTACH=full]1041356[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1041357[/ATTACH] And today I found my 1st "1825" example on the "Bay"; listing was removed after being reported. Seller did mark "COPY" on the reverse but is still against listing policy there. [ATTACH=full]1041358[/ATTACH] I can't look at a B-10 the same going forward! Best, Jack.[/QUOTE]
