<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbreeze, post: 2788326, member: 86726&quot;]A few things....</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; I have no idea about the OP&#039;s coin as I have never actually seen one in person.&nbsp; I think the hardest thing to do with something like that is to put it into context.&nbsp; It is not a cash coin meant for any other reason than presentation.&nbsp; As a unique piece of that nature, judging whether it is &quot;authentic&quot; is somewhat tricky.&nbsp; Is it an authentic piece created as an example/presentation piece?&nbsp; Could easily be.&nbsp; Is it a piece that was meant for circulation thereby having the characteristics of 99% of cash coins?&nbsp; Absolutely not.&nbsp; You have to have some reference for what you are trying to present or represent and they have presented a case for it.&nbsp; What evidence is there to refute it?</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; Cash coins are difficult because they are cast.&nbsp; They can easily be made to look like the originals.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; Having spent years going through thousands and thousands of cash coins, I still can&#039;t tell all the time what is legit.&nbsp; You can read all of the books you want or buy as many coins as you want from reputable sellers or have the best expert in the world tell you what to look for, the only way to become a really good judge of these coins is to look at thousands of them and get a feel for what a real cash coin looks like, feels like and most important, what your initial impression is of the coin&#039;s presence.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; I did not bid on any of the latest cash coins offered at Heritage.&nbsp; I did not feel &quot;comfortable&quot; enough with any of them to place a bid.&nbsp; Some were out of my realm (like the OP&#039;s coin), while I felt none of the others were easily judged as legit without me viewing them in person.&nbsp; I would not try to tell you if any of them were authentic or not based on a picture, but I didn&#039;t feel comfortable enough with the pictures to attempt to add them to my personal collection.&nbsp; My only comment for Heritage would be that some of the pictures were upside down and some were rotated, that didn&#039;t help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
