[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 842876, member: 112"]Yeah but look at how pebbly the surface is, even the rim and protected areas. That can come from very worn dies, but it also comes from elctrotype dies. So I'm torn. And the 1901-S has known fakes. And this coin matches that description in many ways. The one identifier that is missing is the striation above STATES. So it may be genuine - or not. You need to weigh the coins Numis - take 'em to a jewelry store. If genuine they should be 8.359gm and 16.718gm. But even that won't prove they are genuine for their are known fakes of accurate weight. Hate to say it, but somebody is gonna have to see these in hand.[/QUOTE]
