<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 413621, member: 7638"]What bothers me about this one is that for a coin in such a high grade the dentils and letters look so mushy. The surfaces also look porous from here. The surfaces also seem to have a frosty look to them that I have seen on a lot of chinese fakes in other series. I would also expect to see some metal flow lines on such a high grade specimen. These are just general observations, I don't think I could say for sure without the item in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
