<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 3149395, member: 24544"]Multiple issues here. In terms of details, these all have 'mushy' design elements consistent with cast copies. Struck versions of these coins have clean and crisp design elements. The dates on most of these are not the correct font and are either not in the correct location or the correct size. On some, the denticles are not period correct either.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to give your friend some feedback you can start there, and then show him pictures from <a href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/</a> Pay attention to the crispness of the strike and use right-brain recognition (the kind you use to recognize people) to compare, don't necessarily look for specific things like spacing of letters, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
