<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3254663, member: 27832&quot;]My naive guess would be that none of them got tossed by the bagful into vaults, unlike so many other dates...?</p><p><br /></p><p>I did try to get photos, but it wasn&#039;t really worthwhile; couldn&#039;t keep out of my own shadow, couldn&#039;t hold the phone still, don&#039;t know how to keep the phone from blowing out the highlights. And I&#039;m not going to shell out $40 to bring one of these home for better pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]854821[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>In the photo, it almost looks like an orange-peel surface, but in hand it&#039;s more satiny. Those stars from 7 to 9:00 are really weirdly low relief, even compared to the ones on the right, but I didn&#039;t see any obvious areas of &quot;design sinking into the fields&quot; on either face of the coin. I was too discouraged with the photo setup to bother imaging the reverse; I didn&#039;t note anything obvious there, except the same finish, and the same lack of bag marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still 100% convinced these are fakes -- nearly a dozen extremely-high-grade 1901-P Morgans walk into a pawn shop? And like I said, the surface texture is <i>wrong</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I think about it, I&#039;ll take the pocket scale and a magnet next time I go in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
