[QUOTE="sf340flier, post: 396643, member: 5806"]The biggest issues I see with this coin, in order: 1. F details, AU+ color -- often seen on fakes (Chinese counterfeits from ebay in particular) 2. MM is in correct location, but seems too big, and the serifs seem off. Do you see a chip missing in the inside upper loop of the S? 3. The area just inside the edge on the obverse and reverse seems "uneven" and maybe kinda of "bubbly" (although this is tough to see from the photos). This is consistent with a cast. 4. The B in the VDB doesn't seem to be quite right (but again, a better picture would help). I can't see the angle of the middle branch of the B, but it doesn't seem right. The B also looks like it lacks the right detail and spacing for. Do you have the PCGS counterfeit guide? If so, take a look and see if your coin matches up with the genuine specimens in the book. I still say there is a small chance this is genuine, and we are just getting a weird angled picture and the lighting and focus were off.[/QUOTE]
