<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 506003, member: 11521&quot;]Strange! The obverse and reverse look like completely different coins. Like Leadfoot said - it could be the lighting. Better photos would help. Best would be obverse and reverse photos under identical lighting conditions. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The obverse looks extremely flat. It does not look whizzed. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t see any tell-tale signs of the coin being counterfeit. No tool marks. Denticles look OK. Nothing obvious jumps out at me. I checked Bill Fivaz&#039;s book (<i>United States Gold Counterfeit Detection Guide</i>) and do not find any of the markers found on the 1898-S example in the book. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ll withhold judgment until we get better pics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
