<p>[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 837369, member: 13342"]I spent about 30 minutes examining this coin with my 30x loupe, as well as some other low grade pre-25 s mint slqs. I will be the first to admit if I've inadvertently purchased a fake(which I have before); but I do believe this coin is genuine. The "s" mintmark is EVEN in elevation to the star(at least the highest points of each symbol are even). I've looked at it from several different directions with a direct light source and my 30x loupe. I'm not quite sure what is meant by stating that the MM looks "too good" for the wear. It isn't any stronger than my other G/VG or dateless pre-25 s mint SLQs, and those have even more wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, I alerted the seller that there was some suspicion regarding this coins authenticity and that I will bring it by the dealer. Thanks for your comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
