<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 25684437, member: 27832&quot;]Well, I decided I wasn&#039;t going to let someone else beat me to it. Even talked them down on the price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try to get some microscope shots together later tonight. Examining it through a loupe under strong light, though, I&#039;m seeing clear matches for every odd feature in the photos on <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1876-6876-g50c-bg-935/10793" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1876-6876-g50c-bg-935/10793" rel="nofollow">PCGS CoinFacts</a> -- the 6 under the 1, wart on the neck, doubling of letters, deep die scratch in the bow, <i>everything</i>. If it&#039;s a fake, it&#039;s the most fastidious fake I&#039;ve ever heard of, never mind seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the next question will be whether and where to send it in. I&#039;m still not convinced it will straight grade. Nearly <i>every</i> coin looks terrible under high magnification, I know, but I&#039;m pretty sure this actually has a small dent/bend. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It definitely has scratches, and appears to have some high-point wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
