[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2693927, member: 24314"]A little. I know just a little about counterfeit detection. Just enough to realize I know nothing and be dangerous. :jawdrop::facepalm: Counterfeits of all types and time periods are basically made the same way. Therefore, when I see a coin with perfectly round holes and perfectly round pimples I think - hummm. When I look under the "A" I see both. There is also a round hole at 1 o'clock. I also wanted to see the surface (close up) around the "TA." The relief of the letters is "soft." So far, I don't have an opinion one way or the other on your coin as I don't know anyone who authenticates coins from an image unless they can match a coin with a C/F die.[/QUOTE]
