<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2098749, member: 13307&quot;]I love the variety of responses I&#039;m getting on these coins.&nbsp; Keep them coming!</p><p><br /></p><p>(Let me also state that I am not 100% sure any of these are real/fake.)</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO - the 1909 S VDB is questionable.&nbsp; The date and mintmark look fine to me, but it&#039;s the VDB on the reverse that seems extraordinarily weak compared to the rest of the details on the reverse.&nbsp; I&#039;d lean 60% towards a genuine 1909 S, but with an added VDB.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO - the 1922 could be real, but looks (as a few have already said) pretty rough.&nbsp; Who knows what&#039;s going on under everything that&#039;s happened to this coin...&nbsp; That being said, I&#039;m probably leaning 60% toward a genuine 1922 Plain for the diagnostics mentioned by [USER=5036]@bqcoins[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>IMO - the 1955 looks much better than an earlier counterfeit I&#039;ve seen, but has been harshly cleaned/polished.&nbsp; Was it done by someone who thought it was acceptable?&nbsp; By someone who didn&#039;t know any better?&nbsp; Or, by someone who was trying to cover up whether it was counterfeit?&nbsp; I&#039;m still on the fence about this coin, but maybe 70% leaning towards a genuine DDO, but harshly cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still looking for as many opinions as possible, especially from a few LC experts who haven&#039;t chimed in yet.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
