<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 370915, member: 8843&quot;]Wading in here - I agree - fake. For the reasons posted above plus the berries on the reverse are off. While this is a hobby that takes two lifetimes to learn for the time I have been learning I&#039;ve also learned to trust my instinct and whenever my first reaction to seeing a coin in hand or photo, even if silent, is &#039;ugh! or yuck!&#039; then I&#039;ve learned to listen to that instinct rather than try to talk myself out of it. And I&#039;ve saved a lot of money and heartache.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not trying to hijack the thread but there is a book &#039;Blink&#039; by Malcomb Gladwell, that explains the &#039;2 second thinking&#039; rule --- and how we all know more than we realize but rather than trusting it we try to convince ourselves the &#039;instinct&#039; isn&#039;t as intellectual as intelligence. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All the arguments presented regarding the folds, eagle eyes, leaves, drapes and everything else are good evidence to argue but I encourage you to continue strudying coins and start trusting that first reaction and would venture to guess you had a reaction when you found the coin. It was likely similar to &#039;ugh!&#039; and that&#039;s why you posted it here hoping to have someone convince you that you were wrong and it&#039;s a genuine coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
