Message:: [QUOTE="stella, post: 771225, member: 17448"]1. The first check points for a genuine 1906-S is the straight serif "1" . But beware of a shaven curved serif 1. (Confused on "Straight Sefir?") 2. The second check points is below the serif of the "1" which had a very small protrution when magnified under 10X loupe. (Apperent On My Coin) 3. The third check points is the number "9" which the genuine pieces have a larger and rounder knob. (Apperent On My Coin) 4. The fourth checkpoints is the number "0" which the upper inner loop to the right of the 0 is straight rather than oval.  (Looks Correct) 5. The fifth checkpoints is the number "6" which the knob is slightly in teardrop shape rather than round.  (Apperent On My Coin) 6. The sixth checkpoints is the die crack line below the right side of the eagle's wing just above the three stick of the arrows.  (NOT On My Coin) 7. Check points number 6 is only applicable if the mintmark "S" is lying on the 7th denticles count starting the "1" of 1906. (EXPLAINS, MINE IS 6/7 DENTICLES) 8. If the "S" mintmark is lying between 6/7 denticles, then die crack line is not found below the eagle's right wing. (Apperent On My Coin) 9. Meaning there is two types of die variety found in the 1906-S peso.10. Be very suspicious if the coin weight is below 26.8 grams. Altered dates usually fall in this category due to heating. (Weight = 26.9)11. If the weight is about 26 grams or less, then it is an obvious cast counterfeit. Pitting is visible even to a naked eye.12. Check for the edge. If the reeding is too weak or too sharp to be perfect then put your own conclusion.13. Also, check for the surface color of the coin. If its unnaturally toned or surface had been altered, be very suspicious. (Looks Genuine 100%) Weight: 26.9[/QUOTE]
