[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 311277, member: 11521"]I am more concerned with whether the coin is authentic or not. This coin has been counterfeited a LOT. Some of the things that concern me are: Raised metal in the field of the obverse along the denticles below Liberty (5:30 & 7:00) and near the 'T' of UNITED. A couple of small raised spots around Liberty's eye. Three tool marks between Liberty's bonnet and the first 'A' of AMERICA. Raised metal on the reverse above the upper portion of the right wreath. Poorly formed denticles on the reverse, especially along the bottom portion. Raised lines above the 'R' and through the first 'L' of DOLLAR. A small raised spot in the center of the first 'L' of DOLLAR. A couple of carbon spots on the obverse give a hint of the coin being genuine. I would recommend having the coin authenticated.[/QUOTE]
