<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 384896, member: 12965"]On the following three photos, you will be able to tell which coin each came from by the spots, but if you ignore the spots, you will notice all three photos are identical, yet there is one photo for each of the first three coins in the OP (no doubles). Then, look at the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR and where the top tips of each letter is in relation to the spaces in the denticles nearest to the tip. They are all identically located in relation to the denticles.</p><p> </p><p>This is too much of a coincidence and as to die clashes, I would think counterfeit dies would also incur die clashes as they are used, so die clashes are not a good source to use for comparing the three coins. If you can find an identical die clash on a verified authentic coin, then the die clashes are usable.</p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ps: I am not saying they are counterfeit, but I am also not saying they are authentic. The similarities cause me concern and because I have concerns, I wouldn't buy them. Also, to whomever said something about cast lines? If you haven't kept up with the news, the Chinese aren't using casting methods any longer. They are going the full route and using presses to make the new counterfeits so there are no cast marks on the new counterfeits. I posted a DBD a long time ago that we finally figured out was a counterfeit (not the slabbed one) and the counterfeiters went the full route and had added edge lettering also that also looked authentic. That was an awesome counterfeit, weighed exactly what it was supposed to weigh (90% silver) and it would fool most anyone who didn't take a triple look at it and compare it to other similar counterfeits.</p><p> </p><p>Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
