<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Teddydogno1, post: 2046053, member: 71226&quot;]Saw one today while coin browsing.&nbsp; Came close to buying it for $10 just because it is interesting.&nbsp; At first glance it looked OK to me (NOT an expert, though I do have a nice graded one).&nbsp; Upon closer inspection the elements are all pretty crude and there is some apparent porosity in the coin.&nbsp; Been second guessing my decision not to buy it.&nbsp; I know contemporary fakes/counterfeits can be valuable in themselves.&nbsp; But since I have trouble SPOTTING the fake, how can I spot a GENUINE COUNTERFEIT vs. a modern FAKE?</p><p><br /></p><p>For $10, should I have bought it for a curiosity?&nbsp; Date was 1912 BTW and appeared to have an attempt at the &quot;B&quot; mint mark in the trident, but just had a flat spot with a void instead of an identifiable &quot;B&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>rob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
