<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 515805, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s quite normal for there to be minor differences like that David because of the way they produced the dies. The dies for these coins were all made by hand, using punches to place the legends, devices, date - everything.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is one thing that bothers me about Freaky&#039;s coin - the edge. That groove you see between the circles and rectangles and the top of the rim (1st pic) should not be there. See the bottom, how there is no groove there - that is how it is supposed to look.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now look at the second pic here. See how the design moves from the bottom of the edge to the top of the edge - that is the joint of the edge design. And the two ends should line up with each other not be offset like that. </p><p><br /></p><p>If there is anything about this coin that would make it suspect that&#039;s what it is. But unless he sends it in for authentication we will never know if it is genuine or not. But as I said earlier, even if is real, it&#039;s not worth the slabbing fees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
