What did you see on these in hand? From just the photo&#039;s these look suspicious but I don&#039;t think that would be enough to deem them counterfeit just from the photo&#039;s. Scary...</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is, I&#039;ve seen &#039;blems&#039; and such, raised bumps on the coin on struck pieces too, especially in Bill Fivaz&#039;s book. Some of these were struck, and although I think most of pimples you would see on cast counterfeits, I think its possible to have these also on struck counterfeits. I may be wrong, however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
