<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 696491, member: 16994&quot;]I figured that I see enough pieces that I should at least take some good pictures of them and share the knowledge... that&#039;s what we are all here for right? </p><p><br /></p><p>The $10 was very proof like. When I originally looked at the piece I said to the gentleman who brought it in that &quot;This piece is either a proof or a counterfiet&quot; and as soon as I hit it with a glass it was apparent that it was a fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>I got to thinking last night about what might cause the struck pieces to be grainy. I&#039;m sure they didn&#039;t have the best quality control on their planchet production process and if the planchets were rough to begin with this would leave some residual pitting on the coin. I&#039;m not sure if this is correct but this could be a factor. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have 2 other $2.5&#039;s that were brought in with the first 2. These 2 are scary good. I&#039;m going to shoot them here in a few minutes and get them posted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
