<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8234200, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t have an opinion about this coin.&nbsp; The one below is a condemned fake struck from copy dies made from a coin that was on small flan missing parts of the legend.&nbsp; The tip is that line separating the partial letters from the unstruck area.&nbsp; What would we have if these same fake dies where struck more weakly so this line disappeared?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1448150[/ATTACH] </p><p>Like NGC, I recognize three levels of &#039;genuine&#039;.&nbsp; There is &#039;Genuine&#039;, &#039;Not Genuine&#039; and &#039;I don&#039;t know&#039;.&nbsp; Isn&#039;t that better than guessing and being wrong?&nbsp; I would be interested in hearing the arguments in defense of this coin that kept it from being condemned for the reason Donna pointed out.&nbsp; At my level of ignorance, I would avoid this RR coin without worry.&nbsp; That is my privilege for not being a professional paid to be correct. NGC grader is one more job I&#039;m glad I do not hold. It is not as high on the list as school bus driver or President of ........... (fill in country of your choice) but it is on the list.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
