<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dynoking, post: 2975874, member: 81795&quot;]<i><font size="3">&quot;...with most of the diagnostics on this coin matching a known Briggs variety, I see no reason to doubt the authenticity; &quot;mushiness&quot; can be caused by a wide variety of things ranging from weak strike pressure, to die wear, greased dies, and PMD such as abrasive cleaning.”</font></i></p><p><i><font size="3"><br /></font></i></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure where you are going with this. This ungraded, mushy strike coin posted for sale on the internet by an antiques dealer who doesn&#039;t deal in coins is suspect to me. Period. The second word &quot;most&quot; in the post you quoted to convince me that the coin is genuine only re-enforces my position that it is a counterfeit.&nbsp; To convince me a coin is genuine </font><u><b><i><font size="3">ALL</font></i></b></u> <font size="3">of the diagnostics</font> <font size="3">must match a known variety. The difference between MOST of the diagnostics matching and ALL of the diagnostics matching is the difference between counterfeit and genuine. </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
