<p>[QUOTE="JRankin05, post: 416370, member: 15057"]I scanned the actual coin myself using my HP all-in-one as well as photographed it myself using an older 3.2 MP sony digital. I noticed the line that you're talking about too and let it be know that this line is not present on the actual coin. The images have not been doctored in any way, shape, or form. I believe this line appeared when I resized the images, and I'm attributing it to Paint Shop Pro, which I use to resize high res scans. I dont believe that the coin is a cast fake, but as I am not an expert, I could be wrong. I'm including photos below of Liberty's neck and of some chips on one of the stars that would lead me to believe that it could be a VAM 7. Upon closer examination in the photo of the star chips, the field in front of liberty's face shows signs of parallel scratching, leading me to believe that it has been whizzed. What do you guys think?</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h236/JRankin05/LibertyNeckVAM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h236/JRankin05/StarChipsVAM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><a href="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h236/JRankin05/StarChipsVAM.jp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h236/JRankin05/StarChipsVAM.jp" rel="nofollow"></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
