<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 8221905, member: 84595&quot;]A careful examination of the lettering of your coin clearly indicates it is a counterfeit.&nbsp; Enlarge your pictures and those of the genuine coins.&nbsp; Compare the S in TRUST.&nbsp; Compare the other letters.&nbsp; I recently saw a counterfeit 1943 like yours and a 1944 zinc coated steel counterfeit like yours that was donated to a church.&nbsp; Most collectors don&#039;t have an XRF machine but I always recommend a person have the coin checked with an XRF to determine the metal composition.&nbsp; Most counterfeits don&#039;t pass the test.&nbsp; A few years ago I was asked to check out an 1896-S Morgan dollar.&nbsp; It was in VF condition.&nbsp; A dealer sold it.&nbsp; I use many tests to determine authenticity.&nbsp; It weighed 27.1 grams instead of 26.73.&nbsp; XRF showed 94% silver.&nbsp; Obverse die was not paired with the correct reverse die.&nbsp; There were other characteristics which indicated struck counterfeit.&nbsp; Send it to ICG and have them encapsulate it in their &quot;for educational Purposes only&quot; holder if counterfeit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
