<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jwitten, post: 2219943, member: 70583&quot;]Back when I was getting into coins (10 years ago or so) I bought a raw 1911 $2 1/2 Indian, that when I received it, turned out to be a weak D. I brought it to my local dealer, who told me flat out it was fake. I asked why he thought so, and he said the mint mark was in the wrong spot. He showed me a small mark on the obverse (that he thought was the weak d), that was in fact not the mint mark. I turned the coin over, showed him where it was, and he just kinda sat there. I later graded it XF45 with PCGS using another dealer, and have never been back to that first &quot;dealer&quot;. To take a random person&#039;s word on your coin is hard to do. I would trust ngc and pcgs though, as I feel I know the coins I sell well enough to make the call for genuine or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
