<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 855185, member: 19065&quot;]Honestly, I&#039;m not bothered by the date. It&#039;s out of focus and hard to read plus it has a lot of reflection from the light source coming from the left side... but the 9 seems about&nbsp; right and the space between the 4 and 5 looks fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another 45 that&#039;s more straight on from another CT <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t90832/#post802512" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t90832/#post802512">thread</a> for some immediate comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still do not doubt the authenticity of the coin itself and I don&#039;t interpret the marks to read &#039;copy&#039;, that seems to be looking too hard for what&#039;s not really there. Has anyone contacted the Seller with request for more pics, straight on shots or if this is has a &#039;copy&#039; stamp on it?</p><p><br /></p><p>That the pics were doctored or taken in such a way as to be &#039;deceptive&#039; could be the case here. However, I think that instead it&#039;s the photos that are just <u>bad</u>. They look to be shot with a camera held up through a loupe or some sort of magnifying lens since the edges of the frame are <u>so</u> out of focus. Plus certain areas of the images are soft focused and look blurred. This I feel is throwing off everyone&#039;s read of this piece through the view of being a fake since the hallmarks of a scammers listing are present: the price is jacked way up, the seller thinks the pics are representative and that the coin would grade high with a TPG, but spells PCGS wrong and the holder shot does nothing to authenticate the piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
