[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2899949, member: 5233"]I will admit, this surprised me. I knew that the first coin was clearly a counterfeit but the second one looked good to me. I'm not a $1 gold guy so I don't know these coins that well. When I first read your post I assumed that I had compared to two coins and seen the obvious differences in sharpness and concluded #1 was fake and #2 was real. I thought I based my conclusions on the differences alone. Now that I have gone back and looked at the second coin again knowing it's a fake...nothing that I am seeing jumps out at me. Can you provide a little more details on how you can tell that coin #2 is a counterfeit. What details should I be looking for that I have missed. I have read the rest of this thread to date and don't see an answer to my question yet posted. If I missed it, I apologize. So was mine at that time...you must be an Oregon fan too. ;)[/QUOTE]
