<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1424307, member: 30574&quot;]As I said, I felt the coin was authentic by I just want to expand upon my reasoning.&nbsp; As Conder said, just the picture is not good enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here is my logic.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Coins looks obviously cleaned and overdipped, leaving no luster at all.&nbsp; That is why I think you think it looks funny, but it is just a bad cleaning.&nbsp; There is usually no need to clean a fake, in fact they sometimes try to &quot;dirty&quot; a fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) The coin is overpriced. Why try to sell a fake above market value.&nbsp; Not a good way to move it</p><p><br /></p><p>3) The coin is within the sellers wheelhouse, he sells various items including Morgans from time to time in this price range but he hasn&#039;t sold a whole bunch similar to this one. It usually is a red flag if a seller puts up a valuable coin with no history of selling valuable coins.&nbsp; If it is a fake, I would bet the seller does not know it.</p><p><br /></p><p>4) There is just nothing about the coin that jumps out as being fake.&nbsp; The stars look good, the date looks good and the denticles look good.</p><p><br /></p><p>5) The seller has a very liberal return policy of 14 days.&nbsp; Plenty of time to check it out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, while all of this is not proof positive, when you put all the pieces together, I am fairly confident the coin is authentic. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
