<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack D. Young, post: 7385175, member: 93371&quot;]So, the short version story...</p><p><br /></p><p>I found the raw example I posted here reviewing coins for sale by known bad sellers on my watch list. I could not attribute it, which as [USER=13813]@CaptHenway[/USER] stated should be one of the 1st steps in the authentication process (it is in mine!). I then contacted the Liberty Seated Collectors Club for help, only to learn they had one they were reviewing at the same time. Through those discussions we verified them fakes and I joined the club; I have had 3 articles to date on the subject of deceptive struck counterfeits published in their Gobrecht Journal since.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also found my PCGS certed version in a major auction house with a &quot;make offer to seller&quot; tab and made an appropriate offer. I also alerted my contact at the LSCC about this one and promptly ended up in the middle of a controversy, but ultimately ended up with the coin after agreeing to allowing it be removed from the slab (with a copy of the label included with the coin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
