[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 7466924, member: 20480"]If [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] hadn’t prodded us to undertake this examination, I think I would have been deceived, unless of course the reverse was well struck. The left side of the top of the sevens should be straight and vertical. The corners of the serifs should be less rounded, as should the vertex where the horizontal stroke meets the upright stroke. Most noticeable to me is the difference in thickness at the tops of the vertical strokes of both numerals. The fake is much thicker in this area than all genuine coins I've looked at.[/QUOTE]
