<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 724704, member: 13650&quot;]Nice write up.&nbsp; &nbsp; I doubt many if anyone would have caught it as a fake if you didn&#039;t mention it was.&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#039;s almost like once everybody realizes a coin is fake by the title of a thread, then it will be closely scrutinized by everybody and people will describe what they see wrong with it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I don&#039;t know that pictures posted in normal posts here receive the same amount of scrutiny and attention.&nbsp;&nbsp; This was good enough to where it isn&#039;t painfully obvious it was a fake.&nbsp; Maybe someone would have spoken up.&nbsp; Maybe not.&nbsp; &nbsp; Anybody here interested in helping people identify fakes on this forum needs to be aware of what they&#039;re seeing here!!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Since you mentioned it, I see exactly the graininess you mention and have seen the same in person.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can also notice the letters are just &#039;slightly&#039; blockier and softer than a real one.&nbsp;&nbsp; Very subtle.&nbsp;&nbsp; Again, nobody would notice if not paying attention.&nbsp; I probably wouldn&#039;t have noticed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The mintmark is obviously not right as someone mentioned.&nbsp; Another clue to look for.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Yet another good education of what&#039;s out there and what could be posted here as a real one.&nbsp; &nbsp; Goes to show how critical, good, large sized pics are to verifying anything that&#039;s loose.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anything less is completely inadequate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
