[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 26040901, member: 10461"]Hope you didn't get stung too badly when you bought the "pretender" (fake) in your younger days. Still, it's kind of cool you kept it, for educational purposes, if nothing else. I have owned three. The first was polished within an inch of its life, to the point that it [I]looked[/I] fake, even if it was real. I have no images of it. The second was this PCGS AU50, which I later parted company with. [IMG]https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/8Cq9GhCUSRaZ2LBCmK7K_30410618_large.jpg[/IMG] The third, and the current example in my collection, is this NGC XF40. While it's ten grade points lower than the previous coin above, it's an earlier date and I like the look of it.
