    Thank you :). I'll keep that in mind. You save people 30 bucks with that information, if they do happen to find one.

    I hope it will save people from buying the counterfeit 1955 DD, That can mean a loss of over a $1000. When I sent the '55 and '72 for certification, I had no idea one was fake. If one had to be, I wish it was the '72, it costs a lot less. That '55 fooled me, club members, and two dealers, it was really well done and I had it so long, it had developed a nice patena.

    Good grief... 1000 dollars?! Why so much?!

    Aside from what has already been addressed regarding this particular example, if genuinely familiar with the real deal, the overall appearance of a coin is often sufficient to identify as a counterfeit. While this is not really suitable for discussion/educational threads, it is nonetheless exacting and often applied in real-world dealings.

    I believe his point had nothing to do with his own example, but was directed towards those who may purchase a fake believing it to be real. A $1000 loss in such a case is, or at least could be, wholly realistic.

    Ohhhh I see, yeah thank you for explaining that to me. I was thinking he spent 1000 bucks to get it authenticated.
