[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 288053, member: 705"]mralexanderb, Ah come on....just because you didn't think to look that close doesn't mean you have to give the guy a hard time. Sure we all know the first 2 numbers are 19 but the next few might just be a 74. I've seen alot of worn 1974 halves in the last few years. BTW---What makes you think its fake? He hasn't posted the weight..... I've seen some "test" strikes (I know that in the error world some people don't agree on the Test Strike stuff) graded by some TPG's and they are really worn and have almost no detail at all. This could be one but I'm no expert on that kindof stuff. The one I saw was an Ike Dollar and you could just faintly see the outline of Ike's head and that was it. It was graded by PCI. Edited to add: I've been going back over his photo and on the Rev. you can see some of the lettering near the rim---if I remember right the only part of the detail that I could see on any of the "Test" strikes were all in the center and there was nothing out near the rim.
