    Which of the 2 coins below do you think it's fake (if any?). Remember, they could be both authentic, both be fake, or just one be fake.

    The fonts don't look right to me.

    The lettering on #2 looks off, especially on "In God We Trust." The folds on Liberty's cap look wrong too; they don't seem to naturally blend into the cap. I'm going with #2 being fake. Number 1 looks OK as far as I can tell.

    i go with #2 being fake, wrong font for "in god we trust", "L" in liberty is wrong, sun's rays are off..

    #2 is fake. The W in WE is wrong.

    Also the sun's rays in #2 don't intersect the "L" in "Liberty" like they're supposed to.

    Coin 2 is probably a fake, the details don't look crisp enough.

    #2. The lines and folds in the gown look funny.

    Could we get a shot of the reverse of each example please?

    Also, #2 seems to lack the designers initials.

    Yep, I think it's pretty obvious #2 is fake, especially with that W mint mark, still those sell like hot cakes on ebay for $40 each.
    Please let me know if "guess the fake" is a good idea and should go on once a week or stop.
    Here's your prize...I don't know how to divide it by 15 :D

    Are they silver and are they selling them as genuine?

    I would guess that # 2 is a fake. I think the band on the wing with E Pluribus does not contain the whole wing.
