<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 3031875, member: 24754&quot;]I overlaid the obverse of the ebay coin with obverse of your coin with scale-able transparency. The images do not align perfectly and it seems as though there are subtle differences. But, as TIF said, it is due to the fact that the ebay picture was taken at an angle. This is apparent if you do the transparency trick.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apart from that, the most telling aspects are in the beading on the reverse. There are three distinguishable features that match exactly on both coins.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]755578[/ATTACH]</p><p>If they are real, then both coins:</p><p>1. Came from the exact same reverse die.</p><p>2. Were struck off-center by the same degree in the exact same direction</p><p>3. Were handled by the same person that habitually scratched &quot;E&quot; into the same place in all of his coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, they are fake. I&#039;m betting on fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Oops, I read the opening post at the top of the Message boards and assumed this was a new thread. I&#039;m guessing this was all discussed ad nauseam over the last 5 pages. Oh well, I didn&#039;t have anything else to do anyway <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
